Hoshō is a prestigious name in authentic Hakata-ori, a type of fabric from Hakata, Chikuzen. The puffed weave, created with strong "Omeshi threads," causes the patterns to swell and emerge, giving a gentle impression. This beautiful puffed weave is then dyed, a unique process in Hakata-ori. The bluish-white background with curved dye separations, the shades of celadon, evoke a waterside scene, while the combination of earth tones and green resembles a mountain range. The abstract geometric patterns evoke the tranquility of Japanese nature, and this wonderful Hoshō obi (sash) elegantly adorns the sophisticated woman. As it is a full-length obi, you can change the appearance of the pattern depending on how you tie it. Despite its strength, the puffed weave is also soft and easy to tie. This is a used item, but it is in very good condition with no stains. Why not take this opportunity to acquire an obi from the prestigious Hakata-ori brand, "Hoshō"? We offer it at a great price, typical of used items. ■Material: Silk ■Obi Width: Approximately 30.5cm ■Total Length: Approximately 452cm It is paired with the separately sold "Oshima Tsumugi, Mud-dyed Indigo, Cute Flower Stripes on Hemp Leaf Pattern, Made by Yamato." #TsurukameKimono
