Product code: Vintage Tsukuri Obi Tsuke Kimono Pre-Tied Sash Belt with Original factory Box
Beautiful vintage Tsuke / Tsukuri obi (pre-tied obi) from Japan, estimated 50s-70s, in its original box! I can't make out much of the writing on box except "Japan Musubi Cooperative Association." factory I'm fairly certain this is meant to be a child's/girl's size, but could look proportional on a petite adult. Please refer to sizes below. For reference, most modern women's tsukuri obi are 7" wide. Approx. Measurements: Sash - 60.25" x 6" (153 x 15 cm) Musubi - 14.5" x 11.5" (37 x 29 cm) Musubi ties are just long enough to fit around a max ~30" ribcage. Obi is in very good vintage condition. Light fuzzing and some loose fibers along edges of sash. Musubi has some bending on corners, could probably be steamed back into shape. I used tape to add aglets to ends of red ties. Box is in poor condition with several large tears and tape repairs. It's a neat piece of history, but no longer suitable for long-term storage.
