Thank you for viewing. This is an obi止め (sash clip) made with white and orange agate. It is a piece featuring a persimmon with a branch, carefully carved in a round, three-dimensional style. Persimmons have long been cherished as a symbol of good fortune, representing "abundance," "longevity," and "prosperity of descendants." The design with a branch expresses a wish for fruitful days. The elegant contrast created by the white and orange agate highlights the freshness of the persimmon, and the lustrous shine adds a vibrant accent to your obi (sash). The rounded form and delicate carving harmonize to bring a refined warmth and elegance to your Japanese attire. It is wonderful to use as a brooch, as well as an obi止め. #koudo #香堂 #こうどう koudo 香堂 こうどう japanese kimono jewelry obi止め brooch white agate orange agate round carving persimmon pattern
