Characteristics and condition of Fukuro Obi | New Fukuro Obi

This product is an untailored obi that is recommended for casual occasions.

This striking obi features a large whale on a light and dark blue background (see the Definitive Japanese Color Dictionary).

There is a whale's eye in the center of the drum part and a whale's tail on the belly part, so at first glance it may be difficult to tell what the pattern is.

This might be truly stylish.

The beautiful background color, which expresses the light and shades of the deep sea, is created using the hikihaku technique.

Hikihaku is a technique in which patterns are created by layering gold and silver foil on Japanese paper that has been coated with lacquer and sealed.

This requires advanced techniques, as the fibers are cut into hair-thin strips and then woven into fabric while being pulled, making it one of the most difficult Nishijin-ori fabrics to weave.

The whale's eyes and the shining surface of its body are made with mother-of-pearl.

Raden is a decorative technique that uses the lustrous mother-of-pearl of turban shells and other shellfish to pray for the prosperity of descendants. It is a symbol of a glorious future. Shells are also said to protect wealth, as they were used for currency.

This obi is not simply made by pasting mother-of-pearl on it; rather, the mother-of-pearl-pasted washi paper is cut into thin strips and woven into the obi in place of thread.

Coordinate it with solid colors, small patterns, or tsumugi to enjoy a unique style.

This obi is also reversible so you can use the back side as well.

The turquoise and black checkered pattern creates a stylish, simple look.

You can enjoy a completely different atmosphere from the whale mask.

This is an untailored item so the measurements are approximate.

There are no stains or dirt, so it is perfectly wearable.

The colour is closest to the overall photo, but may vary slightly depending on the device you are using.

Please note that there is no quality label, so we do not know the content percentage, etc.

*This is an untailored item, so if you would like it tailored, we can accommodate that request.
