A 2 part easy obi, with pre-shaped rear taiko and separate sash section. Very easy to put on.
Stylised mountains on a beautifully textured  fabric
Both sash and knot have tape ties, to be tied round waist, then tucked under the sash
Nagoya obi style
Nagoya obis often have the sash part already folded to half depth, with the knot section at full width, making them easier to put on. Some you fold yourself. This style was invented about 100 years ago and is less heavy than a more formal fukuro or maru obi. Nagoya are usually tied in a taiko musubi (square style knot, named after the Taiko bridge, at the opening of which a few geisha wore it as a new style, after which it became very popular and has remained so ever since). Nagoya obis are less formal than a fukuro or maru obis but more formal than hanhaba obis
Obi should not be washed
Made in Japan
The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition. Some of my Japanese garments have large, white stitching (shitsuke) round the edges. The Japanese put these stitches in to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment

Excellent
