Elegant gold-toned, gorgeous Honbukuro Obi (belt) I purchased this for my daughter's furisode (formal kimono for unmarried women), but we ended up using another one, so this has not been used. Flower diamond pattern Length: Approximately 420 cm Six-panel design The green color is similar to young leaves. The lining and the base color of the front are a pale beige. I was told it had no noticeable stains when I purchased it. The front side is as described, but there are stains on the lining and the plain fabric inside, as shown in the images. I would be happy if someone would wear it. ★★★What is a Honbukuro Obi?★★★ It is woven with the front and back fabrics integrated from the beginning, forming a tube. The pattern is woven inside the bag-like structure, and you can only see the entire pattern by turning the finished obi inside out. The craftspeople who weave Honbukuro Obi cannot see the pattern until it is finished, requiring highly skilled techniques. Because Honbukuro Obi are woven with high skill and a long production time, the production quantity is limited, and they are expensive products. Merits of Honbukuro Obi * Because there are no seams on both ends of the obi, it is a thin obi, light and supple. * Since the front and back are the same fabric, there is no sense of incongruity, and it is comfortable to wear. * Even after many years of use, there will be no unevenness or bulging due to the difference in elasticity between the front and back fabrics, and the surface of the obi can be kept beautiful forever. In the past, Honbukuro Obi were common as Fukuro Obi (obi with a pocket-like structure), but due to the high level of skill required for weaving, the manufacturing efficiency is poor, and they are now rarely made, making them a very valuable obi. As this is a used item, there may be some folds and overlooked stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. The color of the photos may differ from the actual product depending on the shooting environment. It will be shipped compactly in the packaging materials used at the time of purchase. No price reduction. #Obi #FukuroObi #Furisode #Wedding #MamaFurisode #PureSilk
