Vintage Women's Metallic Fukuro Obi Cloud Motif

A women’s fukuro obi featuring a cloud motif in black, woven with metallic threads made from finely cut papers.

This piece has a soft feel, making it easier to wear as a traditional kimono accessory. It also lends itself beautifully to creative repurposing as a wall display, table runner, or for other design projects. 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.
