Round obi fabric “takarazukushi”
The “round obi” is the most prestigious and luxurious type of obi, with a pattern that is applied to the entire belt and also appears on the reverse side when it is tailored into an obi. In recent years, however, production of this type of obi has been greatly reduced due to problems of usage and price. This obi, in particular, has been carefully produced with meticulous attention to design, and is a valuable piece that will have very few opportunities to be produced in this class of obi in the future.
This is a fabric for a round obi with the auspicious and auspicious “Takarazukushi” pattern, which is based on a shiny light brown base with a hobishi pattern expressed in gold foil as a ground pattern, accented with gold thread and interwoven with “Ten Kinds of Treasure” in a subdued color scheme.
