Rokuto (Six-panel) Nishijin-ori Fukuro Obi (Formal Obi) Unfinished product Retail price: 626,400 yen This is a stunning piece of Hikihaku (drawn foil) work. It is a luxurious, high-quality Fukuro Obi made of gold and silver foil. "Noshi-me" refers to a bundle of "Noshi," which are made by thinly stretching abalone. Since ancient times, abalone has been loved by the Japanese as an auspicious food symbolizing longevity. Therefore, it has been considered an auspicious item since ancient times and is indispensable for celebrations as a symbol of longevity. Noshi is also considered an auspicious item, and the Noshi-me pattern is considered to be a very luxurious and gorgeous design. It will also look beautiful with formal attire. Due to the aging and decline of artisans, these types of Hikihaku obi are quite rare. The weight of the foil, the way each petal is drawn, and the weaving are all very wonderful. The dignified atmosphere and elegant appearance give a sense of luxury to formal attire. Because it is an elegant and gorgeous obi fabric, it can also be used with furisode (long-sleeved kimono). I think this is a very good item with fine and wonderful craftsmanship. You can feel the tradition and history of Nishijin. The sparkling shine changes depending on the angle, and the colors are beautiful. It is beautiful. This also comes with a Megane (glasses) certification label, a genuine Nishijin-ori product.
