Thank you for viewing. This is a luxurious and elegant Nishijin-ori high-class fukuro obi (formal obi) with a classic tortoise shell pattern on a silver ground. Perfect for a tea ceremony. As it is Nishijin-ori, the silver color changes depending on the light, making the pattern appear to float. It is a refined and elegant masterpiece. The tortoise shell pattern, as the name suggests, is modeled after a tortoise's shell. It is believed to have meanings of longevity, health, and warding off evil, as the shell protects the tortoise. Furthermore, the Bishamon tortoise shell pattern is a particularly auspicious design, as this pattern is used on the armor of Bishamonten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, who brings treasures and good fortune. This is a very fine fukuro obi. If you are interested, please take this opportunity to purchase it. Please wear it with furisode (long-sleeved kimono), tomesode (formal black kimono), irotomesode (colored formal kimono), homongi (visiting kimono), tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), iromuji (single-colored kimono), or komon (small patterned kimono). Please do not miss this opportunity. Silk.
