This is an otaiko (drum) style obi. It consists of a front band that wraps around the waist and a pre-tied otaiko section for the back. Like a yukata obi, the part that wraps around the waist has a string attached. There are no metal fittings. You simply place the pre-tied section on your back, secure it with a temporary string, and then add an obiage (sash scarf) and obijime (sash cord) to complete the shape, ensuring the most attractive part of the pattern is displayed. This is a remake obi, incorporating a different fabric. It's a remake obi made from kimono fabric. The waist band is 180 cm long, recommended for those with a fuller waist. It's also sufficient for average sizes. Please understand that this is not the original pattern of the obi.
