Luxury Silk Furisode Fukuro Obi, Japanese Kimono Sash Belt, Nishijin, Unused,
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.
We acquired this Furisode Fukuro Obi from a friend. It is made of silk with metallic threads. The design features Kiribame with traditional prosperity motifs. It may be worn with kimono and is also suitable for use as a bed runner, table runner, or wall hanging.
