Vintage black fukuro obi with chrysanthemum (kiku) and tortoiseshell (kikko) pattern in gold, red, and white embroidery. The pattern of stylized red and white chrysanthemums with golden leaves enclosed in tortoiseshell shapes is called kikko-ni-kiku in Japanese. The deep black background with the sharp contrasting embroidery makes for a simple yet elegant design.

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.
