This is a charming nagoya obi with red turnips dyed on subtle salmon-pink-to-ivory gradation.
Textile is sioze silk, and it has soft and smooth touch.
The background is dyed separately with pale pink and green.

As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
On one side of the maegara, front patterns, patinas can be seen. Also below the otaiko part, patinas are prominent.
The discoloration indicated in the sheet isn't much disturbing.
As a whole, it's in very good condition.
