Vintage maru obi with colorful traditional good luck patterns (cranes, tortoiseshell, bamboo, pine, chrysanthemum). The base color is a light beige with gold, red, green, blue and pink embroidery.

Maru obi is the most formal type of obi, it is fully patterned (zentsuu) on both sides and as a result, is very heavy. Since it is unpractical to wear, it is nowadays mostly replaced with fukuro type obi for formal occasions.

Obi can be used as-is (to wear, as a table runner, or a wall decoration), or depending on the material can be used for re-make (i.e., luncheon mats, pillow covers, bags, etc.)

Obi are sashes (or belts) traditionally used to tighten a kimono, but now serve a mostly decorative role in complementing the kimono design and style. An obi is wrapped two times around the body, and depending on the design is tightened with a simple or more elaborate knot.
The three most common types of obi based on their size are:
- Fukuro obi, this is the longest (4~4.5 m x 31 cm) and most formal type of obi. Since it is long it can be used to make elaborate knots or a simple double-layered drum (otaiko).
- Nagoya obi is the most common type of obi (3.5~3.8 m x 30 cm), and it can be worn both casual and semi-formal. The shorter size limits elaborate knots and the otaiko (drum) is single-layered.
- Han-Haba obi (half-width) is the most casual type of obi for daily-wear (3.5~4 m x 15 cm). The length allows for different types of knots. This is also the type of obi worn with yukata.


Note: In Japan, silk kimono (products) are called "shoken" which freely translated means "pure silk". In many cases, especially so with obi, additional materials are used such as gold and silver threads (kinginshi) for decoration, and a non-silk core (obi-shin) is used to provide stiffness. So although the main material is silk the finished product is not 100% silk.
