♣️ Although it's a beautiful item, there is a 7-8 cm area on the right side of the center of the taiko (drum) part that appears to be discolored (see the last photo). It's not noticeable in dim lighting, but it becomes visible when light hits it. Therefore, it's offered at a reduced price. The background features a muted red, beige, and gray color scheme with vertical color divisions, and it's woven with grape arabesque and Persian-style floral patterns. The slightly larger grapes, petals, and leaves have an embroidered-like woven texture, which is beautiful. The obi fabric seems to be without a core and is somewhat thin. The body section has not been widened, and both sides can be used. The photos show it paired with a separately sold tsumugi kimono. This is the price for the obi only. A two-piece obi eliminates the need to worry about pattern matching and shortens the time it takes to tie the obi. It's also easy to use for beginners. You can go out without stress. Why not give it a try? We have selected easy-to-tie materials for the cords here. They are mainly handmade from white silk fabric or juban fabric. Also, to create a natural look like a hand-tied obi, we have added a curve to the top of the otaiko (drum) part.
