A ro silk maru obi, with an exquisite design of boats, flowers and water. Ro silk is a light, airy weave of silk, made for summer wear, to be a little cooler to wear. The photos don’t do this obi justice
Made and bought in Japan
Type:
A Maru obi. Maru obis have the pattern along their entire length and on both sides. They are very heavy obis and exceedingly expensive obis, costing thousands of pounds when new. They have a very firm, corset like feel. Maru are rare nowadays, as they were so expensive and the hardest obis to tie. They are really only occasionally worn by brides now and sometimes by geisha but are highly collectable and make great displays or panels down beds, on tables etc.
