Antique Maru Obi, Nagoya Obi, Fukuro Nagoya Obi, Long Size This is an exceptional Showa-era antique Maru Obi. It is a wide, thickly woven fabric, folded in two to create a reversible design with the same pattern on both sides. Maru Obi are shorter in length and can be tied in a single layer Otaiko Musubi (drum knot), with the pattern visible on the underside, making the knot look beautiful. In addition, it is a gorgeous and formal obi that can be enjoyed with other styles such as Hikinuki Musubi (pull-through knot) and Darari Musubi (dangling knot). It can also be repurposed by cutting the front and back and remaking it into a regular Fukuro Obi length, or used for remakes such as tapestries. This obi is in excellent condition, meticulously woven with a supple texture, making it an exceptional Maru Obi. Recommended for semi-formal attire, this is a generous size. This Showa-era antique Maru Obi is quite short, and can be used as a Nagoya Obi in an LL size for a single-layer Otaiko Musubi. It can be used for semi-formal attire such as Tsukesage, Iromuji, and Komon.
