This is an unidentified fukuro obi (formal obi) received from a relative. There are signs of it having been tied, and there are creases from long-term storage. The obi features a six-panel design with a background of shinonome-iro (dawn color) and gold, woven with vibrant depictions of seasonal flowers such as peonies, plum blossoms, Chinese bellflowers, and chrysanthemums, along with flowing water patterns. With its elegant design, this obi is perfect for furisode (long-sleeved kimono) and homongi (visiting kimono), adding a touch of splendor to celebratory occasions such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies. Peonies (botan) symbolize abundance and beauty, plum blossoms (ume) represent perseverance and vitality, heralding the arrival of spring, Chinese bellflowers (kikyo) are one of the seven autumn grasses, known for their purity and elegance, and chrysanthemums (kiku) are a noble auspicious pattern wishing for longevity. These flowers, depicted alongside the ceaselessly flowing "water," create a very auspicious and universally beautiful obi, representing "the changing of the seasons within a pure flow." The dimensions are as follows, but please note that these are amateur measurements, so there may be some error: ・Width: 31cm ・Length: 452cm For purchasers, the item will be wrapped in a tatoushi (paper wrapping, reused) (see page 5), folded in half (see photo on page 6), and sent in a B4 envelope. We would appreciate it if you could agree to the above before purchasing. Thank you for viewing.
