This listing is for a traditional fukuro style obi that features folding fans that seem to float above a golden hexagon grid.  Each fan is decorated with a set of flowers in white against a copper and gold background. The gold and silver threads produce quite a shimmering effect in the light.

This is a fukuro obi - wide for the entire length, plain on the backside and a patterned design only on the front. There is a one yard "blank" section on the front, as is common with contemporary fukuro obi, where some cost can be saved by leaving it blank where the first wrap layer of the belt portion occurs, since it doesn't show to the public.

See the videos below to learn about the different styles of obi as well as ways to use them in your decor.
