This is a vintage
nagoya obi with sophisticated embroidery work - lantern with ume blossom motifs are embroidered elaborately.
Its design is very Japanese!
Textile is shusu silk and has soft and smooth touch.
It has some flaws as photos show, but they are slight or small and not disturbing. 'A' is the slight smudges in the white embroidery. As a whole it is in very good condition and can be worn.
