Nagoya obi - Nagoya obi

Japanese: 名古屋帯 - なごやおび
Nagoya obi - Nagoya obi

A type of women's obi. Also called 9-sun Nagoya. The obi drum part is sewn to a width of 30 cm, and the torso part is sewn to a width of around 15 cm. The fabric is 36 cm wide and around 4.7 meters long, with a torso length of 2.4 to 3 meters and the obi drum part 1.1 to 1.2 meters long, and is finished with an obi core. Nagoya obi was invented and worn by a teacher at a girls' school in Nagoya in 1918 (Taisho 7), a time of economic recession, with the aim of simplifying clothing. It was put on sale at a Nagoya department store and was well-received, becoming popular as a replacement for the belly band obi, and is still widely used today. Originally worn for everyday wear, the way it was tied has been ingeniously improved in recent years, and it is now worn for going out and for formal occasions, second only to the fukuro obi.

Japanese:

女帯の一種。九寸名古屋ともいう。お太鼓の部分は幅30センチメートル、胴の部分は幅15センチメートル内外に仕立てる。幅36センチメートル、丈4.7メートル内外の布地で、胴の長さ2.4~3メートル、お太鼓用の長さは1.1~1.2メートル、帯芯(しん)を入れて仕上げる。名古屋帯は不景気だった1918年(大正7)に、衣服の簡略化を目的として、名古屋の女学校の教師が考案し着用したものである。これを名古屋のデパートが売り出し好評を得て、腹合帯にかわって普及し、今日なお盛んに用いられている。初めは普段着用であったが、近年は結び方もくふうされて、外出用、訪問着用に袋帯に次ぐものとして締められている。
