Antique Kimono Maru Obi (Full-Width Obi) This is likely an item from the Taisho era (1912-1926) and is a very rare piece. The construction of a maru obi has distinct features, which you can see by looking at the looped and sewn sections, as well as the edges. Obi Width: 29.5cm Length: 360cm As this is a very old item, I think it would be a wonderful piece to display. The characteristic of a maru obi, the all-over pattern on both sides, is a great feature. Cages, cranes, and auspicious plants like pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms are depicted. Of course, wearing it as a maru obi, letting the ends hang down, would also be very antique and stylish. It also seems suitable for remaking into items like bags. Nowadays, there are not many people who make these kinds of obi and sell them as maru obi. As this is an item from a fairly old era, you may notice slight soiling, small stains, and fraying. Please check the images and purchase if you understand antique kimonos.
