Genuine silk, Hakata Chikuzen hakama under-sash, red, new and unused. While it can be used as a half-width obi, it is a sash specifically for hakama. It is less likely to loosen and should look beautiful. I purchased it intending to use it, but I haven't had the opportunity. It is currently stored at home. I would appreciate it if you would consider this after understanding the above. If you have any questions regarding this product, please leave a comment. Thank you.
