This item was from a relative who worked in the kimono business. The person who actually worked with these items has already passed away, so I don't have detailed information. I believe it's genuine silk (正絹) ro (a type of summer weave), but I can't definitively say because there are no stickers on the obi (sash). (I'll say "definitely" genuine silk, not "probably." It was stored with other genuine silk items, and the texture feels like silk.) Since it hasn't been starched, I'm listing it as "near new." I don't see any stains or spots. It feels light and easy to tie. Width: Approximately 30 cm Length: Approximately 361 cm The width is about 1 cm narrower than modern obi. However, the length is 361 cm, so I don't think it's that old. The color also hasn't faded. Beautiful condition. The color is a light terracotta. It looks like a mix of orange, brown, and white, made lighter. Sorry for my poor description. Perhaps a strong, darker beige-toned salmon pink? Is that even more confusing? Anyway, it's a calm color. The pattern is also elegant. Yes, an elegant obi. I'm selling it at a low price because I can't guarantee it's genuine silk. (I'm confident, but I'm pricing it as if it could be synthetic, so you'll be happy with the price either way.) I will ship it compactly using the cheapest shipping method, without wrapping it in tatami paper. Please understand that there may be some wrinkles. Please unpack it immediately upon arrival. Thank you for considering it. ( ^人^ ) #OriginalNeko #SummerObi
