A women’s fukuro obi featuring a Kasumi motif in soft tones of gold, purple, and blue, woven with metallic gold threads. The Kasumi pattern represents formless mist, stylised into a geometric shape.
This piece not only complements traditional kimono wear but also makes a stunning wall display or table runner. It is in good pre-loved condition, with minimal signs of use.
The fukuro obi has been the most common type of obi for formal and semi-formal occasions since the 1950s. It is a simplified version of the fully patterned maru obi, typically featuring designs on two-thirds of the front length, with a plain backing along its full length.
