Description
This tailored Nagoya obi (Kyoto fukuro obi) is perfect for casual outings in a kimono. Even when tied in the standard way—as you would a Nagoya obi—it is designed to look as if you’re wearing a double-drum knot.
Since the width of the obi around the torso can be adjusted to your preference, it’s also recommended for those who feel that standard Nagoya obi are “a little too narrow around the waist…” or “I wish it were a bit wider….”
The lining features the original Tatsumura Art Textiles label.
This is a must-have piece to pair with your kimono when you want to dress up a bit for tea ceremonies, theater performances, or other special outings.

Taishi Kanto(Brocade of "Taishi Kanto")
According to the temple tradition at Horyuji Temple, the original is said to have been used by the Prince Shotoku, but it is unknown what it was used for. This is not a so-called "mamichi" (striped weave), but a warp thread graze, and was made in the future during the Warring States period. Even today, the same type of kasuri is woven in the southern areas of Sumatra, Bali, and Sumbawa, and it requires a truly exquisite technique that is far superior to modern kasuri. The subtle, rhythmic, and southern-inspired aesthetic expression of the original kasuri has been brought to life in a modern style and produced using a special weaving technique.
