It became generally popular after the Great Kanto Earthquake, as it was designed to save on the amount of fabric and time needed. It is often used casually, but Nagoya obi sashes are sometimes chosen for mourning attire to avoid overlapping with other types of obi. 【Merits of Matsuba Style】 The te-saki (hand end) is pre-folded in half, making it easy to put on. The part that wraps around the body is not folded, so you can adjust the width to your liking when wearing it. People who are tall may look better with a wider width. 383
