This obi is meticulously woven with Hokusai’s woodblock print series Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji. It reflects the enduring popularity of the series and the influence of other visual media on textile design. An inscription notes that it is a maru obi, however it is unbacked, suggesting that it may be unfinished.
