This is an elegant
fukuro obi with ornate 'byoubu'(Japanese folding screen) and paper fan pattern, which is elaborately embroidered with sagara embroidery technique.
On the screens are colorful phoenix, flower cart,
noshi etc.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
There are a couple of brownish horizontal stains which won't be seen when worn.
There are some wrinkles from wearing along with a rather prominent folding line.
However, as a whole, it's in very good condition and can be worn.
*Approx background color - gold
Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff )
