New, Ready-to-Wear Nishijin-ori Fukuro Obi (Six-Panel Pattern) Nishijin Textile Certificate Number: 1835, Made by Hakuju-en Cotton core lining. This is a Fukuro Obi with a pattern featured in "Utsukushii Kimono" (Beautiful Kimono) magazine. The obi features a refined color palette with a design of paulownia, bamboo, and phoenix woven into the fabric. The finish of the weave gives a sense of formality, making it a fitting piece for a woman's attire. It can be used with iro-tomesode (formal colored kimono), homongi (visiting kimono), iro-muji (colored kimono without pattern), and tsukesage (semi-formal kimono). As it is from a weaver that is often featured in "Utsukushii Kimono" magazine, I believe you will be able to fully appreciate this exquisite piece. Suitable for weddings, ceremonies, first tea ceremonies of the year, parties, greetings, theater visits, accompanying children to entrance/graduation ceremonies or Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three Festival), etc.
