This is a beautiful fukuro obi with a six-panel design featuring a pattern of arabesque flowers in light purple, pale blue, and pink. It has been guard-processed. I purchased it to wear with a visiting kimono, but I never had the opportunity to wear it, so I am offering it for sale. It has been stored at home for a long time. Wana-ori is a very labor-intensive weaving technique. It uses wire to create looped wana (rings) in the warp threads, giving the pattern a three-dimensional effect. This technique is used in obi, and by removing the wire, the pattern appears to float, creating an obi that is less likely to come undone. The weaving technique is very unique and lovely. - Colors: Light purple, pale blue, and pink with silver thread, suitable for formal occasions. The reverse side has a gradation of pale salmon pink with a Shippo pattern. The images don't quite capture the colors accurately. - Design: Six-panel design with a combination of arabesque flower patterns. - Material: 100% silk - Size: Approximately 31cm x 440cm. Measurements are approximate; please allow for some error. It will be shipped in a compact package. Thank you for looking.
