This is a very rare, genuine silk maru obi (full-width obi) that has been stored for over 50 years in an old tansu (chest of drawers) in my family's warehouse. There is a slight odor of old fabric and mildew. As it is a used item, there are several areas with some rubbing, fluffing, and thread snags. Stains are difficult to discern due to the color. No particularly noticeable stains were found. Please forgive any oversights, as this is a personal inspection. According to family, this obi was brought by my grandmother, who was born in 1921, when she got married. It is a very old item that is difficult to obtain nowadays. Depending on how the light hits it, the threads of time give off a moist luster, creating a solemn atmosphere. Obi width: Approximately 30.5cm Obi length: Approximately 395cm The product size is measured externally with the item laid flat. Please consider that there may be an error of +-0.5 to 1cm depending on the product. Please make your decision after understanding the above. We hope you will appreciate the flaws as part of the item's age. Please refrain from purchasing if you are particular about minor details or are overly sensitive. Depending on the shipping method, the item may be compressed tightly for compact packaging. Please be aware that this may cause creases. Type...Obi Type...Obi Material...Genuine silk
