Showa Retro Maru Obi with Crane and Flower Pattern, Red Base, Gold and Silver Foil, Luxurious and Splendid, Formal, for Tomesode/Furisode

A luxurious Maru Obi made of pure silk, perfect for formal occasions.
Generously woven with gold and silver foil on a red background, the elegantly dancing cranes and floral patterns are both華やか (hanayaka - gorgeous/splendid) and refined.
This obi was once custom-made as a high-end garment, featuring a solid weave and a substantial feel.

This is a perfect piece for formal events such as Tomesode, Furisode, and Houmongi kimonos.
It is also a beautiful obi that would stand out as stage costume, bridal attire, or for display.
