Fukuro obi "Momoyama Suribaku" by Kondaya Genbei: Pure silk | Antique foil | Genuine silver (tailoring fee included)

The silver has been rubbed off to recreate the texture of a Momoyama period folding screen.
Real silver oxidizes and tarnishes over time.
An obi woven from genuine silver foil that changes beautifully over time.

Antique foil: Originally produced at the request of the government for the restoration of cultural properties, each piece has its own unique expression.
"Nashio washi paper," which is considered the best for use in foil, is destined to be lost with the decline of the washi-producing areas.
It is the culmination of techniques from the heyday that had escaped the destruction of the war and remained dormant in the storehouse for a long time.
