This is a vintage black
nagoya obi with wonderful chrysanthemum embroidery work!
Textile is shusu silk and has smooth touch.
It has tears in the belt(near tesaki part). Textile seems to become weak, and it must not strong enough to tie.
It has some other flaws as photos show. 'A' is line shape frays, and 'B' is discoloration. We can't say it is in very good condition, but still charming piece for its wonderful embroidery.

Belt part 5.5 in ( 14 cm) x 74.4 in ( 189 cm)
