This is a
nagoya obi with very unique mountain scenery picture, which is dyed with artistic touch.
The signature of the dyer is added.
Textile is sioze silk and has soft touch.
It is not used and in excellent condition.
*Recently we won some obi bolts ( not completed obi yet ).
They are little bit old one from around late Showa period(1926-1989), and include wonderful design.
Because of their old age, they have some patinas or slight/small stains, but they are not used and in very good condition.
We completed them as obi. So these obi are not used, but has slight flaws, which are not serious damage, and can be worn. This piece is one of such obis.
