This is a contemporary nagoya obi with tasteful design - its pattern is woven with tsume tsuzure technique.
One threads by one threads, it was woven elaborately with nails, and it had to be taken incredibly long time to be completed. It has special kind of comfortable and comparatively stiff touch of tsume tsuzure silk.
It has a comparatively prominent folding line and some other slight flaws. As a whole it is in very good condition and it can be tied formally.
