“This is a discretion of Japanese culture.”

“I saw this and felt sick.”

“I can only feel that this is mocking Japanese culture and Japanese tradition. To think this is how a fashion brand, which is supposed to put great importance on fabric, treats an obi that was weaved by an artisan.”

“Walking all over this traditional Japanese garment is insulting.”

“So, walking on Valentino’s couture is okay, then?”

“An obi isn’t spread out like this. It’s rolled up.”

“It’s extremely unpleasant that a Japanese people would appear in production in which an obi is trampled on.”

“Ahhh, I’m really disappointed in Valentino.”

“It’s almost like walking all over the Japanese national flag.”

“How would they feel if Valentino’s clothing was spread out, sat on, and walked all over?”

“An obi is not a rug and it’s also not something to be tramped on.”

“What a terrible brand.”
