This listing is for a traditional fukuro style obi. 

Understated at first glance, radiant upon a closer look, this gold and cream fukuro obi glows with quiet ceremonial elegance. Repeating hexagonal tortoiseshell frames cradle stylized blossoms, surrounded by scrolling foliage woven in luminous metallic golden thread. The soft champagne background balances the richness of the gold, creating a refined, bridal-ready palette that feel timeless and regal. 

Fully patterned on the front. 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.
