This is a fukuro obi from Juraku, an established Nishijin weaving house. I have handled Juraku's golden cocoon obi many times, so although there are no certificates or seals, I have determined that this is a Juraku piece. For reference, I have attached photos of the same obi that other companies have listed. The black obi fabric features horizontal bands of fine floral patterns in gold thread, and the otaiko (back design) and mae-gara (front design) incorporate three-dimensional knots that give a sense of the texture of the golden cocoon material. It is lightly and thinly made, so it can also be worn during the single-layer kimono season. ◉Size and Material Rokutsu fukuro obi, silk Length: 456cm Width: 31cm Weight: 630g ◉Condition There are signs of wear from tying on the tesaki (hand section) to the plain area. There are no other major thread snags or stains, but it is in a condition that shows signs of use. The photos are for reference, and there are no Juraku seals or certificates. I am offering it at a low price, but I ask that you understand the above points. ◉Set Contents A formal obijime (obi cord) is included as a set. ※The kimono placed underneath is for reference only. I have other items for sale, so please take a look if you'd like ♪
