This listing is for a vintage Japanese maru-style obi.  Maru are usually the most expensive version of an obi since they are 14" wide for the full length and patterned on both sides, even though one side will never be seen by the public. Maru obi are worn for the most formal occasions, such as weddings.

Beautifully woven in metallic shades, this obi features sensu (folding fans) and tsuru (cranes). The cranes are repeated in two color schemes - one is the traditional cream and black while the other is cream with muted brown. The folding fans are elaborately designed with various florals including ume (plum blossoms), botan (peony) and kiku (chrysanthemums).
