Stored item. Width: Approximately 30 cm Length: Approximately 440 cm This is a full-length obi belt featuring a black background with gold thread depicting a "tatewaku" pattern and three cherry blossoms. It's the most popular jet-black color. The "tatewaku" (rising vapor) pattern, one of the most representative vertical patterns, consists of two curved lines that swell as they run vertically, representing rising steam or clouds, and is a symbol of good fortune. It signifies the rise of luck and has been used since the Heian period as a formal pattern on high-class clothing and furnishings. Other commonly used vertical patterns include vertical stripes and plant motifs. (By AI) It was very difficult to photograph this item. While gold thread shows up beautifully and clearly on a white obi, the darker the black silk, the more difficult it is to capture the gold thread beautifully, and I struggled. I believe the actual surface is much more beautiful than the images. The lining is cotton, and the white, clean areas are captured well, but some areas have slightly yellowed, which I couldn't capture well due to the lighting. Please understand. There is also some slight yellowing on the edges of the obi, the hand side, and the taiko side, but this is not due to sweat or dirt. This is because it's the part of the taiko on the back. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. It will be shipped after being removed from the paper wrapping. Returns are not accepted to prevent product substitution.
