Japan Pre-loved kimono sash belt (Nagoya-obi) 100% silk / 276

"Tsume-kaki Hon-tsuzure" (fingernail-woven tapestry weave) textiles featuring an all-over pattern have long been considered so valuable that a single piece could cost as much as a house. Although this is a Nagoya-style obi, it is tailored with a "tunnel" construction, giving the appearance of a formal *Niju-daiko* (double-layer drum knot) when worn. We invite you to enjoy this rare and exquisite piece.

There are some stains, but because it is a genuine *Hon-tsuzure* weave, these can be completely eliminated by turning the fabric over and having it re-tailored.
It has been treated with "Pearl-ton" processing, making it water-repellent.

This obi is called "tsumekaki hontsudure. It is said that if it is a full-patterned one, it is a good enough item to buy a whole house. This is a Nagoya obi, but it is tunnel tailored, so to the viewer it looks like a double drum. Please enjoy this rare item. There is a stain, but it will disappear completely if the obi is turned inside out and re-tailored. It has a pearleton finish that repels rain.
