This is a fukuro obi (formal obi) featuring the character "Kotobuki" (Longevity/Congratulations) embroidered in pink, light blue, and gold and silver threads, along with auspicious Shippo (seven treasures), Kikko (tortoise shell), and flowing water patterns also embroidered in gold and silver thread. The base colors are white (beige) with silver thread, pink, and light blue. Rokutsu (six-panel design) This is my mother's obi. She wore it to celebratory occasions, paired with tomesode (formal black kimono with crests) or one-mon iro-mugi (single-crested solid-color kimono). ● Size (approx.): Width 31cm, Length 4m ● Material: Unknown as there are no tags, but likely silk. ● Condition: It has been stored in a kimono chest with a vinyl bag for many years. It was worn frequently, so there is blue staining (mold?) on the part that wraps around the body (photos 12-14). Please forgive any oversight as this is a personal inspection. ● Other Notes: There may be oversights in the inspection. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item.
