Elegant Blue FUKURO OBI Ceremonial March of Samurai
Is the design upon this fukuro obi a dream or is there really a ceremonial procession through a midnight sky? Once you wrap it around your waist or adorn your home with this lovely belt, you'll know it's real!
Sleek midnight blue fabric is decorated with shimmering clouds of purple that display villages, boats, mountains and forests. Meanwhile a ceremonial march seems to float on air as golden men carry boxes and lead horses.
This fukuro obi is patterned on the exposed front, back and side panels.
