An extra thick and wide (4.5cm) belt. The highest quality 100% silk black belt for the master black belt and elite karateka alike, offering "the look" as well as "the feel" and outstanding durability.
Fades beautifully over time to give that "experienced" look craved by many karateka.
The ultimate in luxury!
(Note: 100% silk refers only to the covering. The core is 100% cotton.)
Very nice and exclusive obi. I am impressed with the quality of the embroidery, which sets this belt apart from my old silk belt. I chose katakana for my surname and the traditional kanji for JKA with golden thread color. I got the golden JKA- label on it. Very happy with my purchase :-)
The Hirota B-602 obi is a great obi! The quality is top notch. The belt is a little thicker and wider and provides a more professional feeling to it. The embroidery my son asked for was done excellent. The silk of the obi has a deep black color and a fine shine finish. The orange embroidery pops out great. This is an obi which will do the job for many years. And...this kind of obi's will look great too when the get older and will become worn out a bit. This is an obi with a soul!
What a wonderful belt! The embroidery is impeccable and has a very nice artistic flow to it. It's a beautiful work of art. The stitching is strong and the silk is another beautiful touch that adds to the richness of it. If you're on the fence about getting a new belt for yourself look at Hirota and know you're getting a great quality obi.
