Japanese Kimono

There are different Types of Obi. The classification of Japanese Obi is based on the way in which they are made and has relation to the occasions on which they are worn. Most of the time, different types of Japanese obi need to be tied differently. Below are different types of obi.

Maru Obi

The first type of Japanese obi is the Maru obi. The Japanese Maru Obi is made of brocade and is fully patterned. The Maru Obi is the most elegant and most formal Japanese obi. Maru obi is double the width of an ordinary obi and is folded in two lengthwise and sewn over a stiff lining.

Fukuro Obi

The Japanese fukuro obi is a double fold obi and is the second most elegant and most formal type of obi, after the Maru obi. The Japanese fukuro obi is appropriate for formal wear as well as semiformal wear.

Nagoya Obi

The third type of obi is the Nagoya obi. The name Nagoya obi comes from its origin because the Japanese Nagoya obi was first produced at the end of the Taisho period in Nagoya. The Nagoya obi is simpler and lighter than the double fold obi (fukuro obi and Maru obi). There are a few types of Nagoya obi.
