Vintage Japanese Silk Brocade Obi

In general, the obi used depends on the type of kimono worn in any given occasion. Most formal are the metallic or color brocade and tapestry, followed by dyed silk, woven silk, and non-silk obi fabrics. Brocade, tapestry and dyed silk obi are used for formal wear with the finest kimono, while obi made from raw silk, cotton or wool is used for everyday wear. (wafuku.co.uk)
We believe that this is a Fukuro obi, a grade less formal than a maru obi and the most formal obi actually used today.
This beautiful obi can also be used a wall decoration or table runner.
Condition: good, may require resewing of edge on one end.
