This narrow obi is a wonderful alternative to a wide obi, with an informal design and smaller width. Wear it with a lighter kimono, yukata or Western style.
This obi is patterned throughout with a tranquil and serene motif of stylized snowflakes. Atop deep olive green, they display chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms and maple leaves inside their delicate shapes.
