This is a summer silk (ro) sashiko obi. Sashiko, with its refined elegance, became popular as a pastime in Kyoto and Kyushu around the Edo period. It was a traditional technique enjoyed by the nobility and the daughters of samurai families. The obi features elegant designs of waka poems on strips of paper and colored paper. The fabric, woven with gold thread on a white background, subtly shimmers, enhancing formal attire. This is a high-class obi that can be paired with plain-colored kimonos, "tsukesage" kimonos, and "homongi" kimonos. It is recommended for formal occasions, ceremonies, and tea ceremonies. ◆ About the Product 【Type】Fukuro Obi (bag obi) 【Material】Silk 【Size】Length approx. 446cm / Width approx. 31cm 【Condition】Almost unused, in excellent condition *Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details, as this item has been stored at home. ◆ Shipping ・Anonymous shipping (Rakuraku Mercari / Yuuyu Mercari) ・Will be carefully folded and packaged The color may slightly differ between the photo and the actual item depending on the lighting conditions during photography and the device you are using.
