This tsuzure nagoya obi sparkles with woven in twisted gold coated threads.
Its woven otaiko (square bow) pattern is a dear plump 'karako' (Chinese child) holding a yoke on his shoulder.
Textile is tsuzure silk which is rather soft compared to ordinary tsuzure weaving silk.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
Above the otaiko (square bow) pattern, there are two blackish smudges, one of which might be shown when tied.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
As a whole, it's still in very good condition and can be worn.
