Characteristics and condition of obijime | New obijime
This is an obi-jime that goes well with formal obi.
This obijime was ordered by Itomi, a Kyoto-based manufacturer of Japanese clothing accessories, from Hirata Kumihimo, a long-established Edo Kumihimo manufacturer.
That alone is full of charm!
All Hirata Kumihimo obijime belts are made using 100% domestic Gunma 200 raw silk, and each kumihimo craftsman is expected to make only one piece in his lifetime, with only the same pattern ever being produced.
This obijime has a four-diamond pattern.
Since it is a custom-made item, it is not something you see very often.
The main color is a deep reddish purple (Futari Shizukairo) (see the Definitive Japanese Color Dictionary).
Four diamond patterns and stripes are arranged alternately.
If you look closely at this obi-jime, you will notice that the color scheme of the diamond pattern is different on the front and back.
The side that highlights the gold color is suitable for formal occasions.
The side with a soft color scheme and less visible gold thread is recommended for plain colors.
It is truly an incredible technique to weave the obijime while changing the color scheme on both sides.
It is said that there are no more Kumite craftsmen who can do this.
As this is a new item, there are no stains or dirt and it is fully wearable.
The overall color is closest to the actual color shown in the photo, but the actual color may differ depending on the device you are using. Thank you for your understanding.
