This one was constructed like a chuuya obi, backed in black silk. However, the silk is rotting away with age so I&#8217;m going to disassemble it and just keep it as a single layer, since most hakata obi are constructed in that manner.<\/p>\n<p><b>Butter yellow, red, and black hakata fukuro with asanoha<\/b><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1567 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1-850x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-6383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1-850x800.jpg 850w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1-300x282.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1-159x150.jpg 159w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1-150x141.jpg 150w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-6383'>\n\t\t\t\tCream with Red\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>This is another one that I&#8217;m shocked I managed to walk away with.

It does have a fair bit of patina that is very evident with flash photography, but it&#8217;s quite subtle in person so I suspect it won&#8217;t detract from the piece when it&#8217;s worn.
