This
nagoya obi has WODERFUL design - it is very similar to Stars and Stripes flag!
It is woven with
tsume tsuzure techniqueˇ¼ˇ£ˇ¼ˇ¬ One threads by one threads, it was woven elaborately with nails, and it had to be taken incredibly long time to be completed. It has special kind of comfortable and medium touch of
tsume tsuzure silk.
This piece has patinas in the white parts, and has some other slight flaws as photos show. However, it is not used and in very good condition.
*Recently we won some obi bolts ( not completed obi yet ).
It is little bit old one from around late Showa period(1926-1989), and includes wonderful design.
Because of its old age, it has some patinas or slight/small stains, but they are not used and in very good condition.
We completed them as obi. So these obi is not used, but has slight flaws, which are not serious damage, and can be worn.
