⑥ Nagoya Obi, Matsuba Style 【Material】 Cotton 【Size】 333 cm long, 30 cm wide Narrowed section: 46 cm long, 15 cm wide 【What is a Nagoya Obi?】 In the Taisho era, women began to work as "professional women," and the obi was devised to shorten the time it took to get dressed. 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 obis are sometimes chosen for mourning wear to avoid overlapping with other types of obi. 【Advantages of Matsuba Style】 The hand (te-saki) 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. Taller people look better when they tie it wider. #KinokinoKimono #KinokinoObi 【Notes】 ⚫ Please let us know in advance if you have any shipping requests or if you would like to purchase multiple items.
