Thank you for viewing. If you are considering a purchase, please read the profile first. This is a high-class, six-panel silk obi, suitable for celebratory occasions and formal kimonos. The color is a refined silver-white base, with a subdued color palette and a design of pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms arranged diagonally. The base silver-white fabric is woven with several types of famous textile patterns. While the item has a formal appearance, it does not have the flashy luster of a foil-backed fabric. Instead, it has a cool and intelligent look with a calm elegance. I believe this item can be used not only with tomesode (formal black kimono) but also with homongi (visiting kimono), tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), and mon-tsuki iro-mugi (colorless kimono with crests). (Subjective opinion) Having an obi like this, with famous textile patterns and pine, bamboo, and plum blossom designs, is very useful. The orthodox style and colors are suitable for all generations and can be used for a long time. (Subjective opinion) Famous Textiles: From the Muromachi period to the early Edo period, among the dyed and woven goods that came from foreign countries, the high-quality and exquisite silk fabrics that were treasured by daimyo families and temples, especially the highly valued and formal textiles. Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Blossoms: Pine symbolizes vitality, bamboo represents prosperity and strength, and plum blossoms symbolize the New Year and rebirth, representing "happiness," "longevity," and "prosperity." They have been used in Japanese clothing and other items since ancient times as symbols of celebration and good fortune. The condition is an unused item, only checked by unfolding. However, there are fold marks due to storage. Also, there may be minor stains that were overlooked. Please understand. The folded-over tip of the obi has "Fugetsu" and "Makie Shochiku-bai" (lacquer 松竹梅) written on it. (The attached signature cannot be identified.) Also, there is a tag for "Suzunoki Kinueya Suzuyaka Processing" for peace of mind.
