Made from leftover fabric of a new, reversed-pattern nagajuban (long undergarment). Made of silk, so it has good slip and knots are less likely to loosen. ◆ Olive green floral arabesque pattern Length: 157cm, Width: 5.0cm ◆ Muted pink Genji Monogatari (Tale of Genji) 54 chapters pattern Length: 162cm, Width: 5.2cm When tying an obi, using a regular koshihimo (waist cord) as a temporary cord can be too long and get in the way. However, with the above lengths, I think they will be just the right size and easy to use. Thank you for looking.
