Exquisite, woven by the 11th generation weaver, Sohyoe Shinoya, this is a tsuzure-ori (tapestry weave) karahori (Chinese-style weave) obi with a gold thread shippo-tsunagi (seven treasures connection) pattern, and comes with its original box. It can be used with visiting kimonos, tomesode (formal black kimono), and iromuji (unpatterned colored kimono), regardless of the color, making it a valuable item to have. Also, those who know will immediately recognize the value of this item. ●Condition Although it is a new, unused item, it has been stored at home for a long time, so it is not recommended for those seeking perfection. I found some stains on both the outer and inner fabrics. Please check the photos for the areas of concern. Detailed photos are included after the overall photos showing the location (photos 9, 10, 12, and 13). The original box has some damage. ●Length Approx. 446cm ●Width Approx. 31cm I will be adding more obi for sale, so please take a look if you are interested. My great aunt is a kimono enthusiast, so I am helping her declutter. There are many unused items in storage. I would be happy to pass them on to someone who appreciates their quality and will make good use of them. High-quality fukuro obi (formal obi) woven by the 11th generation weaver, Sohyoe Shinoya, with a shippo-tsunagi pattern tsuzure-ori karahori, with a wooden box.
