This is a tsume tsuzure nagoya obi with exotic 'karabana'(imaginary Chinese flower) pattern, which is woven mainly with glittering gold or silver coated threads.
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.
With no folding line, it's possibly unworn.
The smudges along the side edges indicated in the figure are so slight that they won't be bothering when worn.
Please enjoy high-end Japanese weaving technique via this beautiful item!
