Luxury Silk Reversible Furisode Fukuro Obi, Japanese Kimono Sash Belt, Nishijin, Unused,
A Fukuro Obi is generally less formal than a Maru Obi. It is made by joining two lengths of fabric. The visible front is typically woven in silk brocade with metallic threads, while the reverse and portions not intended to show when worn are generally plain silk.
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 silk Fukuro Obi was made for formal Furisode kimono and features woven patterns on both sides. It is new old stock. It may be worn for formal occasions and may also be used decoratively as a bed runner, table runner, or wall hanging.
