Fashionable and elegant, these silk hand-braided obijime are woven with the delicate techniques of a disappearing tradition! They are carefully woven by hand, so they may feel stiff at first, but they will soften with use and conform to the obi, so please rest assured. The obiage uses tightly woven fabric and is carefully dyed by a Kyoto dyer. We hope you enjoy them with your kimono. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous customer, as these are clearance items. Obijime weaver: Japan Obijime length: Approximately 150 cm Length: Approximately 170-175 cm
