This is a long-length version of a high-quality Hakata-ori silk single-layer obi (half-width obi)! The standard length for Hakata-ori is 380cm, while this long-length version is approximately 425cm. This is recommended for those who are fuller-figured or those who want to try different obi結び (musubi, knots) but find the standard length too short! The Hakata certification seal is the highest rank, the "Gold Seal." This Hakata-ori obi is popular for its ease of tying and its resistance to loosening once tied, making it less likely to come undone. It offers the same ease of tying, luster, firmness, and high-class feel as other Hakata-ori obis, and it is a single-layer (hitoe) obi perfect for summer. It is well-ventilated and can be used not only for its appearance but also for its coolness. It can be used with summer kimonos as well as yukata.
