This is a luxurious, formal maru obi made of high-quality silk. The red background is richly woven with gold and silver foil, and the elegant dancing cranes and floral patterns are very gorgeous and refined. This obi was once custom-made as a high-class garment, and has a solid weave and a sense of weight. This is a perfect obi for formal occasions such as tomesode (formal black kimono for married women), furisode (kimono for unmarried women), and homongi (visiting kimono). It is a beautiful obi that will also look great as a stage costume, bridal wear, or display piece. Images 2-5 show approximately one-fourth of the obi (about 1m each) from the tare (the part that hangs down) to the tesaki (the end). Images 6-9 show the obi from the half-facing tare to the tesaki. Images 10 and 11 show the obi ends. Images 12-14 show thread snags and abrasions. 【Condition】 While there are no noticeable stains or major damage, please be aware that there are some abrasions as shown in images 12-14, as this item has been stored. Overall, I think it is in beautiful condition. 【Material】 100% Silk 【Type】 Maru Obi 【Size】 Length: Approximately 400cm Width: 31.5cm 【Color/Pattern】 Red with gold and silver threads, crane and floral patterns 【Era】 Mid-Showa period *The actual color may differ from the images due to lighting and monitor environment.
