Nagoya obi (名古屋帯) are one of the most common & convenient styles today, which are perfect for creating the classic “taiko” knot which is shaped like a drum. They were first produced in the city of Nagoya in the 1920s, & are distinctive for the fact that the portion which wraps around the waist is folded & stitched in half partway down, allowing for more easier dressing. The wider part is then what forms the “drum” shape in the back of the body.
