This silk fukuro obi presents an unusual twist with Chinese-inspired roundels reminiscent of earlier generations, adopting a 'faux-brocade' simple weave instead of traditional brocade. The three central roundels are adorned with silk and metallic embroidery, elevating their visual appeal. Despite a few minor imperfections, including a short section of loose embroidery, the obi remains in very good condition.

Measuring 12 inches (30 cm) in width and 143 inches (363 cm) in length (with the gallery image showing only half of the obi), this piece diverges from the standard wear of its time. Its unique design and materials suggest it might have been intended for a geisha or theatrical purposes, deviating from typical norms to make a distinctive statement in style and craftsmanship.
