Nagoya obi

 

Nagoya obi is a simplified obi that is easier to tie than a fukuro obi.It is made to a length and width suitable for tying a single drum.

It was invented during the Taisho era and is easy to use even for those new to kimono.

Depending on the material and pattern, it can be worn for a wide range of occasions, from casual outings to semi-formal occasions.

It is shorter than a fukuro obi and is around 360cm long, which is just the right length for a single drum knot.

It is easy to tie and reduces the time and effort required for dressing.

There are 9-inch Nagoya obi (34cm wide) and 8-inch Nagoya obi (30cm wide). The difference is the width of the obi.

The next highest rank after the Fukuro obi is the Nagoya obi.

Nagoya obi are usually worn with plain kimono, tsukesage, and komon. They also go well with casual kimono such as tsumugi and omeshi.

I would like to enjoy wearing Japanese clothing with an easy-to-tie Nagoya obi.

Well, see you next time.
