This
nagoya obi has exotic
phoenix and flowers pattern, which is woven.
Textile is soft jinken(rayon).
It is well worn, and there are many frays. Above the otaiko part, frays become tears ('A'). There are couple of holes near the tesaki part.
It has some other flaws as photos show. We can't say it is in very good condition, but still charming piece for its wonderful design.
