Vintage Unused Silk Fukuro Obi, Japanese Kimono Sash Belt, Japanese Noble People, Ox-Drawn Carriage, Real 24K Gold Foil Threads, 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.
This Kurotomesode Fukuro Obi came from a relative, who purchased it for her Kurotomesode. It is woven in silk with real 24K gold foil threads and features Japanese noble figures, ox-drawn carriages, and Zuiun clouds. It may be worn with kimono and is also suitable for use as a bed runner, table runner, or wall hanging.
