NOTES:
**What is 六通 Rokutsuu Style?
The pattern is on 60% of one side of the Obi in 2 parts. It goes patterned to non-patterned and then patterned again. Over 2m or (approx. 2 yards) of the obi has uninterrupted pattern to use for display or as fabric! The second patterned area is about 50 cm (19”). The other side of the obi is a solid color silk with no pattern.
Obis are made this way to show the pattern only where it can be seen when worn around a kimono. With obis being around 4 meters, this is a practical design for a kimono wearer as this makes the obi much more light weight and easier to manipulate and tie around your waist.
This is a secondhand obi and will not come in perfect condition, please keep this in mind before you decide to purchase this obi! I try to be thorough in my inspection of all my items but sometimes I may miss the smaller or fainter signs of wear here and there.
The colors/shade of items may look slightly different from the actual product due to lighting/ digital photography or the difference in computer monitors. However, I try very hard to get the most accurate looking photos!
