Summer items, new, genuine silk, Honba Chikuzen Hakata-ori Sha 8-sun Nagoya obi. Quality: 100% genuine silk "The origin of Hakata-ori dates back approximately 760 years ago, when Manda Yazaemon of Hakata went to the Yuan Dynasty and acquired techniques such as Kan-ori and Go-ori, and brought them back to Japan. Approximately 360 years after Manda Yazaemon, Takekawa Iemon began weaving obi fabric for the first time, and it is said that he named it Hakata-ori." Hakata-ori obi are known for being easy to tie and, once tied, difficult to loosen. This ease of handling is the charm of Hakata-ori. I believe this is an item that will elegantly enhance your outfit.
