This is a vintage
nagoya obi with fabulous design - black and red rose motifs are woven with cut velvet boldly!
Textile is ro, summer sheer silk and has soft touch.
When it came to our office, we found a tear near the triangle part. Textile seemed to be strong enough, but we repaired the tear and added fabric in the wrong side of the fabric.
So it can be tied without care about the fabric strength.
Because of its old age, it has some flaws as photos show. However, they are not disturbing and as a whole it is in very good condition.
