This is a vintage nagoya obi with appealing iris pattern, which is elaborately embroidered with thin threads.
The red to ivory gradation of the flowers makes them even more glamorous and eye-catching.
Please check its wonderful embroidery details with more photos.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
The light colored parts of the embroidery are rather discolored with age.
However, as a whole, it's in very good condition.
