This item is from Fujisaburo Himo, a renowned braid maker in Shiga Prefecture, which has been passing down traditional techniques for over 150 years. This is a valuable, unused obi締め (decorative sash cord) from the late third-generation head, who dedicated himself to the research and inheritance of plant-based dyeing techniques. Unused. There are three areas with very faint discoloration that are noticeable upon close inspection. Please check the photos. Personally, I don't think it would be noticeable when worn. If you purchase this item along with other items, I will discount the shipping cost. Please request combined purchases when you are ready to buy, without changing the price. (Requests made late at night will be handled the following morning.) #FujisaburoHimo #ThirdGenerationFujisaburo #OtsuCityIntangibleCulturalProperty #PlantBasedDyeing #Unused
