This is a simple formal obi締め (decorative sash tie) with the character "寿" (longevity/celebration) embroidered in gold thread on a white background. The gold thread is only used for the embroidery. It has a refined elegance that is different from the flashy gold of a high-quality Korean braid, and its understated beauty stands out. It is graceful and beautiful. Unused. There is no noticeable damage. If you purchase this item with other items, I will discount the shipping cost.
