Wonderful Japanese landscape scenery on an antique, silk maru obi
Beautiful to wear or used as a display. Maru obi have their design on the full length of both sides, making them the most expensive form of silk ob. They are rarely made nowadays and have become collectors' pieces
Made  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.
