MARU-OBI
This is the widest and largest obi. The obi is made by weaving a wide obi (approximately 70 cm) and folding it in half to form a pouch. Unlike today's Fukuro obi, both sides of the obi have the same pattern, making it very gorgeous. Since it cannot be worn as it is woven, it is folded in half and tailored.
FUKURO-OBI
Fukuro-obi is a simplified and lighter weight version of Maru-obi. It was named Fukuro-obi because it was woven in a bag-like (tubular) shape.
It is an obi made by combining a patterned fabric for front and a plain fabric for lining.
