Stylish and elegant, this silk braided obijime is woven with the delicate hand techniques of Japan's disappearing traditions! Carefully hand-woven in Japan, it may feel stiff at first, but will soften with use and conform to the obi, so please rest assured. The obiage uses fabric woven in Japan and is carefully dyed by a dyeing shop in Kyoto. We hope you enjoy it with your kimono. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a highly sensitive customer, as this is a clearance item.
