# Arisu's Kimono and Obi Here This is an antique maru obi with colors and patterns that evoke a sense of the good old days. The maru obi, the most formal type of obi, is a special and luxurious obi worn with a bride's white kimono, colored uchikake, hikizuri (long-sleeved kimono), and maiko costumes. I received this from an acquaintance, a bridal kimono dresser, when she retired. It's from the early Showa era, and it seems it was popular at the time for its colors and patterns, and many people chose it because it was soft and lightweight. I was told that it could be worn with a visiting kimono or a plain-colored kimono like a fukuro obi, but I have only admired it and haven't worn it. I hope that those who are accustomed to antique items, understand them, or are looking for materials for remaking will be interested. ◆ About Colors Red, vermilion, pink, green, gold, and other flower patterns.
