“Elegant Table” Fukuro Obi

Available to purchase for $119. Click here to purchase or browse.

Use the coupon code TB2019 to receive 10% off your entire purchase.

Large hexagons - some filled with mums in a dozen different colors and others filled with gold and a rice sheath motif. Great color combinations and a beautifully woven design. This is a fukuro obi - wide for the entire length, plain on the backside and a patterned design only on the front. There is a one yard "blank" section on the front, as is common with contemporary fukuro obi, where some cost can be saved by leaving it blank where the first wrap layer of the belt portion occurs, since it doesn't show to the public.
