Maru Obi [Retro] Silk Antique Obi, Fully Patterned on Both Sides For Brides and Maiko This maru obi was passed down from my great-grandmother, who lived in Magusuhara, Kyoto, to my grandmother. It features an auspicious design of pine, plum blossoms, flutes, drums, fans, chrysanthemums, paulownia, etc., lavishly incorporated on a white (off-white) background. A large amount of gold thread is used, making it appear almost entirely gold at first glance. There are no stains or dirt, and it is in very beautiful condition. When tied in a simple bunko musubi or ya musubi, it exudes a magnificent dignity. I hope you will experience the profound feeling that is the charm of the maru obi, for coming-of-age ceremonies, bridal wear, playing "maiko," etc. It can also be used as material for remaking.
