Width: Approximately 10cm Length: Approximately 3.9m 100% Silk Authentic Hakata-ori Gold Seal The ends are flat, just like a regular Datejime (traditional Datejime had cotton strings, but this one doesn't, making it longer). Available in three colors: white, pink, and red (each listed separately. If you can't find them, please inquire). What is a Date-maki? In modern times, it's used for bridal dressing, and is more than 1.6 times the length of a Datejime (a standard Datejime is about 210cm). According to historical documents, in the early Showa era, this "Date-maki" was used on both the undergarment and the kimono, for a comfortable and non-slip fit. You could say that part of the old dressing style remains in bridal dressing. Alternatively, in Japanese dance costumes, a similar item is called "Shitahobi" (under-obi), and is wrapped under the obi to provide support. Generally, I only see polyester Date-maki of this length for sale, so I've prepared a silk version. A set of two is also available. When kimonos were everyday wear, try this for a comfortable fit that maintains a neat appearance without being too tight! It will be folded in half and shipped via Yu-packet Post Mini. If you prefer it unfolded, please consult. We can accommodate this if you are willing to cover the difference in shipping costs.
