This is an elegant
nagoya obi with 'jakago' (gabion) pattern, which is woven in beautifully shading background.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
Also, a few tiny patinas can be seen on the otaiko part, though they're not much noticeable.
As a whole, it's in very good condition.
