◆ Thank you for viewing! ◆ 【Product】 ● Shell Purple Dye - Fukuro Obi (Formal Obi) This beautiful fukuro obi features a delicate floral pattern and horizontal bands of karahana (Chinese-style floral) motifs on a refined, pale gray, foil-backed obi fabric. The thread used is "Shell Purple Dye." This is a rare natural dye extracted from sea snails. In ancient Rome, only emperors and nobles were permitted to wear it, making it a special color. Its noble and deep purple adds dignity and elegance to the obi. As it is made without an obi core, it is very light and comfortable to wear. Please enjoy it with a wide range of outfits, such as Edo Komon (small pattern kimono), iromuji (single-color kimono), tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), homongi (visiting kimono), and tomesode (formal black kimono).
