This is a vintage
nagoya obi from pre WWII.
A doukyo (copper mirror) is embroidered thickly and finely with thin threads.
Textile is black shusu silk, and it's soft and smooth.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
However, its condition is very good enough to be worn, and also the splendid embroidery work will make a fantastic display.
