Obi (publishing)

An obi (Japanese: 帯) is a strip of paper looped around a book or other product. This extends the term obi used for Japanese clothing; it is written with the same kanji. It is also referred to as a tasuki (襷; another kimono accessory), or more narrowly as obigami (帯紙; "belt paper"). Obi are most commonly found on products in Asian countries, especially Japan.
