Pure silk Width: Approximately 32cm Length: Approximately 390cm This is a stunning antique maru obi featuring a cream-colored background with silver flowing water, and scattered throughout are beautiful depictions of flowers from early summer to early autumn, including irises, lilies, hibiscus, morning glories, arrowhead, bush clover, pinks, bellflowers, and golden-rayed sunflowers. It's perfect for formal summer attire, and also looks lovely paired with a plain summer furisode (long-sleeved kimono). While there appear to be no noticeable scratches or stains, there seems to be some fabric wear on the edges. As this is an antique maru obi, it is inevitably shorter than modern ones, and the design is a pull-through pattern, making it heavy. It might be a good idea to have it remade into a fukuro obi (a type of obi) for easier use. It's rare to find a summer obi of this quality in modern times, so it's highly recommended. Individual perceptions of condition may vary, so please understand that this is a used item, and is intended for those who appreciate antique kimonos and are accustomed to older garments. - Shipping will be done folded. - There are no pets or smokers, but old kimonos may have a unique smell or the scent of mothballs used for storage.
