Champagne gold-toned, six-panel fukuro obi, featuring chrysanthemum patterns, gold thread, and classical motifs. Suitable for formal Japanese attire and kimonos.

This is a fukuro obi (a type of kimono sash) with a beautiful woven pattern of seasonal flowers, centered around chrysanthemums, on a soft champagne gold background. While possessing a dignified, black line-drawing-like quality, the delicate use of gold thread adds an elegant radiance, creating a piece that exudes a sense of refinement and high status amidst its understated elegance. Chrysanthemums are auspicious motifs symbolizing longevity and nobility, making this pattern suitable for formal occasions. It can be paired with formal kimonos such as houmongi (semi-formal visiting kimono), tsukesage (semi-formal kimono with a pattern that flows across seams), and iromuji (plain colored kimono), and is versatile for ceremonies, dinner parties, and various events. It is not overly flashy, yet possesses a distinct presence, making it a valuable addition to your collection. [Condition] No noticeable major stains are observed, but there are signs of use.
