Enjoy using a one-of-kind bag made from a Darari Obi worn by one of Umeno's very own maiko.
Darari Obi
The "Darari Obi" is a type of obi (traditional Japanese sash paired with a kimono) typically worn by Maiko (young geisha apprentices) during their training period. The obi is considered a symbol of the Maiko's status and skill level, as tying the Darari Obi requires a high level of proficiency and practice.
Its impressive length and width distinguish it from other kinds of obi, and it is often heavily decorated with embroidery, metallic threads, and other embellishments. It can measure up to 12 feet in length and is tied in a special way at the back of the kimono.
