Japanese New sash belt (Heko-obi) men's 100% silk /787

This piece features *shibori* (tie-dyeing) work created during the mid-1970s. If such intricate *shibori* were produced today, it would likely cost around 130,000 yen. It is a superb item, with each knot painstakingly crafted by a skilled artisan. While it could be repurposed into something else, I highly recommend wearing it stylishly with a kimono.
This length contains approximately 10,000 individual *shibori* knots.

It would also look very stylish worn as a stole.

It was made in the 1950s. It is estimated that it would cost about 130,000 yen to make a shibori of this quality nowadays. It is an extremely elegant item that was patiently made by a craftsman one by one. It can be used as a remake, but it should be worn with a kimono.
There are about 10,000 shibori in this length.
