You'll feel ethereal in this graceful, sparkling fukuro obi.
The subtle silver surface displays gold and royal blue tortoise shells that frame elegant gold peacocks. Exaggerated feathers of twinkling gold and silver accent the subtle diamond motif that is featured in the other tortoise shells.
The underside is completely covered with this glistening diamond pattern.
