Authentic Silk - Highest Quality Formal Wear: Luxurious Gold and Green Round Obi with Auspicious Fish and Gourd Pattern

This exquisite, high-quality silk (正絹) maru obi exudes an air of sophistication.

It features a meticulously woven design of Kumiohimo (braided fish cord) and Hyotan (gourd).

■ Auspicious and Formal Design

• Auspicious Hyotan (gourd) motif: Gourds symbolize good health (mubyo rokusai - literally six gourds, no sickness) and prosperity of descendants, making it a very lucky motif.

• Luxurious Weave: The deep green background (gold-green) woven with gold threads features a complex braided cord pattern that emerges, creating a rich expression depending on the light.

■ The Luxury of a Maru Obi
This is a maru obi, even more luxurious than the currently mainstream fukuro obi (bag obi). It is woven with the same gorgeous fabric on both the front and back, and its weight and formality are in a class of their own.
This is a superb piece suitable for formal occasions such as attending weddings (with black or color formal kimono), coming-of-age ceremonies (with furisode), and high-class visiting kimonos.

■ Ideas for Use
Of course, it can be worn as an obi, but taking advantage of its gorgeous design and length of over 4.4 meters, it can also be used as a table runner, tapestry, or as a material for remaking into luxurious cushion covers, which are very popular with overseas customers.
