This is a long-length version of a high-quality Hakata-ori silk single-layer obi (half-width belt)! The standard Hakata-ori obi is 380cm long, while this long-length version is approximately 425cm. This is recommended for those who are fuller-figured or want to try different obi結び (knotting styles) but find the standard length too short! The Hakata certification seal is the highest rank, the "Gold Seal." This Hakata-ori obi is popular for its ease of tying and its resistance to loosening once tied. It offers the same ease of use, luster, firmness, and high-class feel as the original, and is a single-layer (hitoe) obi perfect for summer. It is well-ventilated and can be used not only for its appearance but also to keep you cool. It can be used with summer kimonos as well as yukata.
