This is a six-panel fukuro obi made of sha (a type of sheer silk) that was purchased in the 1980s. It has been used several times and shows some wrinkles from being tied, as well as creases from long-term storage. The obi fabric is soft and supple, making it comfortable to wear. The otaiko (back) pattern features large white flowers reminiscent of peonies, tree peonies, and hibiscus, woven against a soft vermilion background, creating an elegant and華やかな design. The obi fabric has a sheen, and the color appears to change subtly depending on the viewing angle and the way light hits it. It appears that fine lame thread (or lustrous thread) is woven throughout. It shimmers elegantly with every movement, resulting in a very deep and luxurious finish. When paired with summer visiting kimonos, tsukesage, or iro-muji (colored kimonos without patterns), it would be suitable for slightly formal occasions such as weddings, ceremonies, and parties. The dimensions are as follows, but please note that these are amateur measurements, so there may be some error: ・Width: 30cm ・Length: 443cm For the buyer, the obi will be wrapped in the original paper wrapping from the kimono shop (see page 8 for folding instructions) and shipped in an envelope. The paper wrapping is quite old. We would appreciate it if you could understand the above before purchasing. Thank you for looking.
