This item was used for Shichi-Go-San (a traditional Japanese festival for children) about 25 years ago. There is some fading in places due to aging, although it's not very noticeable. I apologize that the photos aren't very good. It's not noticeable from a distance. I've priced it affordably, so I hope you'll consider purchasing it if you understand. It's a vibrant vermillion (scarlet?) obi締め (decorative cord for an obi) and is durable because it has cotton inside. Length: Approximately 130cm Gender: Girl
