Thank you for viewing. This item features the auspicious "Takarazukushi" (Treasures) pattern, a very celebratory design. The elegant, bright-colored obi fabric showcases beautiful seasonal flowers and various treasures. The Karaori (brocade) weaving of the design is superb and intricate, making it exceptionally beautiful. While being a classic, orthodox design, it is finished with a soft color palette, making it not too flashy, yet still conveying a sense of high class. It is an item that can be worn for a long time by a wide range of people, from young ladies to seasoned kimono enthusiasts. Takarazukushi (Treasures) "Kakuremino" (a cloak of invisibility) which is said to hide one from illness and misfortune, "Chouji" (cloves), a Buddhist treasure (precious medicine/fragrance), and other items such as "Tsuzumi" (a scroll case) which holds precious sutras and secret teachings, and "Houju" (sacred jewel) are depicted. This item can be worn widely for formal occasions such as Iro-tomesode (colored formal kimono), Furisode (long-sleeved kimono for unmarried women), Homongi (visiting kimono), Tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), and Mon-tsuki Iro-mugi (colored kimono with crests), as well as for slightly more formal settings. The fabric has less of a shimmering, metallic look like Hikihaku (foil-decorated fabric), and has a tightly woven texture and a high-quality silk feel. The fold of the tare (hanging part) says "Honkin Soumokuzome" (genuine gold and plant dyeing). You can tell it is a very high-quality item. The condition is a new, unused item that has been stored for a long time. While there are no major noticeable stains or scratches, there may be minor thread pulls or fluffing due to long-term storage, and there are also some minor fold wrinkles from being taken out and handled several times. There may also be other overlooked imperfections. We will not iron out the fold wrinkles and will deliver the item as is. *The pattern placement of the Otaiko (back knot) will vary depending on body type and how it is worn. Size Width: Approximately 30.5 cm Length: Approximately 435 cm Please allow for some minor errors. It is difficult to accurately convey the actual colors, and they tend to appear more vivid in photos. The actual item has a more subdued, calmer feel, with less gloss and color vibrancy. The color of the item may appear different depending on the angle of the light. The colors in the photos may also differ slightly from the actual item depending on the computer, mobile phone, or tablet you are using. Please note that we strictly refuse cancellations or refunds due to differences in color or image. The listing is for the obi (sash) only. There are no remaining fabric certificates or tags on the obi, so the weaver is unknown. There is no special obi box, but we will carefully package and ship it. Thank you for your consideration.
