Product Features
* Design and Texture: Features a "Kandō (Stripe Pattern) Kenjō" design with a beautiful contrast of red and dark blue on a refreshing ecru (ivory) base. It is characterized by the firm and high-quality texture unique to Hakata-ori, which produces a distinct "squeaky" sound when tightened.
* Specifications: The ends of the obi are finished with a beautifully and meticulously woven "tassels," showcasing the intricate hand-woven design down to the finest details.
* Wearing Season: Can be worn year-round, or its crisp texture makes it suitable for pairing with unlined or summer kimonos and yukatas for a refreshing coordination.
