All M+abaca products are handcrafted by artisans from the "San Ramon Abaca Handicraft Association." The abaca used is first-class (highest quality) organic abaca from the San Ramon settlement in the Maranao village. Compared to standard abaca obi belts, the macrame patterns are finer and more delicate. The basho thread is also thin, white, and soft, and will not damage kimonos or yukata (though the degree of care is still important). This is a step-up abaca obi belt. It is a rare item with limited availability. Normally priced at 80,000 yen or more, this is a great value. Color: Ivory Size: Approximately 378cm in length, 16.0cm in width With tag M + Abaca *To prevent any issues, please refrain from price negotiations or cancellations after purchase.
