This is an otaiko type obi. It consists of a front belt that wraps around the body and a pre-tied otaiko style section for the back. Like a yukata obi, the part that wraps around the body has strings attached. There are no metal fittings. You simply place it on your back, secure it with a temporary string, and then add the obiage and obijime to complete the shape, ensuring the most attractive part of the pattern is displayed. This is a remake, a collaboration with a different fabric on the obi. Please understand that this is not the original pattern of the obi. The green obijime is a sample.
