This listing is for a traditional fukuro style obi. 

Proof that simplicity can be the boldest statement, this plain silver fukuro obi radiates modern elegance. The luminous metallic weave creates a liquid light effect that shifts beautifully with movement. Its clean, uninterrupted surface makes it endlessly versatile, perfect for balancing vibrant kimono.

The backside features its exposed lining - a solid, cream-colored silk.  The front fabric wraps around the back several inches and is hand-sewn in place.

The width is slightly narrower at 11.5" rather than the typical 12-14" width. The narrow width, lack of blank section, and shimmering design, suggests this obi was made for a performance or celebration.
