What exactly is Obi ?

An "Obi" is a wide belt or sash worn with traditional Japanese
clothing such as kimono. It can be quite decorative and often features intricate designs or patterns.

MAISON MIYABI uses only the Fukuro Obis (袋帯), which is a richly decorated and ornate obi used for special occasions.

Their characteristics: Wide, often with patterns on both sides. It is richly knotted and decorated, giving a luxurious look.

Where does the Obi come from?

MAISON MIYABI sources all over Japan.


Most of our Obis are vintage Nishijin-ori from Kyoto. Nishijin-ori is a high-end silk weaving technique that requires a great deal of time and effort, as the pattern is created by intricately weaving the first dyed threads, rather than dyeing them after weaving. Nishijin's unique weaving technique has been passed down since the Heian period (794-1192), and the weavers are constantly striving to improve their creativity and expression.
