Fukuro Obi

Fukuro Obi – A Timeless Symbol of Japanese Elegance

Step into the world of refined Japanese tradition with our handcrafted Fukuro Obi—a luxurious sash made from 100% silk, designed to gracefully complement both formal kimono attire and modern-day interiors.

Originally introduced during the late Meiji to Taisho periods, the Fukuro Obi emerged as a more flexible and wearable alternative to the heavier Maru Obi. It is crafted by sewing together two distinct fabrics: a beautifully patterned outer layer and a plainer lining. The result is a lightweight, elegantly draping obi that exudes sophistication without compromising comfort.

Artistry in Every Thread

Featuring gold and silver threadwork, along with intricate seasonal and symbolic motifs—such as cranes for longevity, peonies for prosperity, or flowing water for serenity—each Fukuro Obi is a statement of cultural beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.

Versatility Beyond Tradition

While traditionally worn during weddings, tea ceremonies, and other formal occasions, the Fukuro Obi has become widely used as wall art in homes and offices. When hung vertically or horizontally, its striking patterns and rich textures transform any space into a peaceful, artful retreat—blending cultural heritage with elegant interior style.
