This is a vintage fukuro obi (formal obi) I received from my aunt. It's in good condition with minimal signs of wear, but it has creases from long-term storage. The obi fabric has a soft texture reminiscent of Yūki-tsumugi silk, and it feels light and very supple. Depending on the viewing angle and the type of lighting (sunlight or indoor light), the beige color can appear slightly pinkish or a deep gray, giving the fabric a sense of depth (please note that there is no certification to prove it is Yūki-tsumugi). It features a modern floral and bird pattern embroidered throughout, except for the part that wraps around the waist. This is a rokutsu (six-panel) fukuro obi. It's a type of stylish fukuro obi suitable for casual occasions such as theater visits or meals with friends. The photos on pages 8, 9, and 10 show that this obi is woven using the "honbukuro" technique. Honbukuro refers to an obi woven as a single tube, with the front and back fabrics integrated. It's not sewn together to create a bag shape; instead, it's woven in a tubular form from the start, requiring skilled craftsmanship. This makes it a rare item nowadays. The dimensions are as follows, but please note that these are amateur measurements, so there may be some error: ・Width: 31cm ・Length: 443cm For the buyer, I plan to fold the item compactly and send it in a bag, as shown in the photo on page 7. If you understand and agree to the above, I would appreciate it if you would purchase it. Thank you for looking.
