This listing is for a traditional fukuro style obi.
This striking black fukuro obi carries an air of refined mystery, its surface woven in flowing calligraphy that evokes the timeless beauty of ink on paper. The subtle interplay of sheen and shadow reveals the elegant script.
Some characters refer to the Heart Sutra which is one of the most frequently depicted Buddhist sutras in Japanese textile design. Look closely to see the two vermilion red artist or workshop seals at the end, adding a bold accent of authenticity and artistic flair. Crafted with care, the obi balances restraint and sophistication, making it ideal for formal wear or as an artful display piece.
The backside is solid black with a subtle tone-on-tone geometric jacquard weave.
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.
