Unused Silk Wedding Fukuro Obi, Kurotomesode Fukuro Obi, Japanese Kimono Sash Belt, Kacho Byobu Ikou Treasure Patterns,
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 metallic and Hikibaku threads and features traditional birds, flowers, screens, and Ikou hanger motifs. It may be worn with kimono and is also suitable for use as a bed runner, table runner, or wall hanging.
