"Golden Age" Fukuro Obi

This listing is for a traditional fukuro style obi that features large butterflies in red and gold which are paired facing each other and framed by a wide gold medallion. Behind each pair the medallion sets against an open folding fan. Between the fans are large, nested diamonds in red and gold. The bright green silk background is a strong match with the gold and red of the design.This is a fukuro obi - wide for the entire length, plain on the backside and a patterned design only on the front. There is a one yard "blank" section on the front, as is common with contemporary fukuro obi, where some cost can be saved by leaving it blank where the first wrap layer of the belt portion occurs, since it doesn't show to the public. See the videos below to learn about the different styles of obi as well as ways to use them in your decor. If you're interested in purchasing an obi to display, consider our 30" display rods.
