one-piece sash(MARUOBI)

Japanese clothesclothing

The most prestigious type of obi. The obi is woven twice as wide as a regular obi (about 70 cm), folded in two, and bound together with a core. Therefore, the front and back sides are made of the same fabric. The finished product is approximately 31 cm wide and over 4 meters long. This type of obi began to be made around the Edo period (1603-1867), and since the Meiji period (1868-1912), it has been used as an obi for wedding dresses and tomesode (formal kimono). It is made of luxurious fabrics and uses many gold, silver, and colored threads. Because it was heavy, stiff, and difficult to tie, the use of the Fukuro obi, made in regular widths, spread for formal wear from the Taisho era to the early Showa era.
