This is a vintage
nagoya obi with wonderful bobbin pattern, which is woven and dyed.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has soft touch.
It is well worn and hems are frayed all over. Frays become tears at places both in the tare and belt parts ( and corners ).
It also has some stains and discoloration. We can't say it is in very good condition, but still charming piece for its wonderful design. It must be an excellent handicraft material or interior decor!
*Tare part 11.0 in ( 28 cm) x 46.5 in ( 118 cm)
Belt part 5.5 in ( 14 cm) x 93.3 in ( 237 cm)
*Approx background color - HTML code (B13250)
