Vintage Silk Reversible Zentsu Fukuro Obi, Fully Patterned on Both Sides, Japanese Kimono Sash Belt,
Fukuro Obi is less formal than Maru Obi. It is constructed by sewing the patterned front fabric to a plain backing. A standard Rokutsu Fukuro Obi has patterned brocade across approximately 60% of the front, with the remaining portion left plain. A Zentsu Fukuro Obi is patterned across the full front, while a Maru Obi is patterned on both sides.
This Zentsu Obi came from a relative. It is reversible, with both sides fully patterned, and was worn once. It may be worn with kimono and is also suitable for use as a bed runner, table runner, or wall hanging.
