Here’s a little preview of the latest vintage hanhaba obi added to our online selection. Hanhaba obi is an informal type of obi most often worn by women in casual kimono as yukatas.

This is a small preview of the fukuro obi added to our site this week. These types of obi tend to be more of a semi-formal to formal style. A selection of bridal style fukuro obi in wonderful traditional designs is included in our update this week. These types of obi are often considered a bit more complex to dress and wear, requiring additional accessories such as obijime, obiage, makura, and more.
