This is a rich blue sioze
nagoya obi with beautiful hydrangea pattern, which is dyed.
Textile is sioze silk, and it has soft and smooth touch.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
There is a small cluster of brownish patinas on the otaiko pattern.
The ivory colored areas are slightly discolored.
Also, a few stain dots of pinkish dye can be seen on bottom of the otaiko pattern.
However, as a whole, it's in very good condition.
