This is a high-end
fukuro obi made by Kawashima Weaving Co, one of the most famous obi weavers in Kyoto Nishijin.
Near the left corner of the tare end is a sumo referee's fan motif which is the famous logo of the company.
This obi has elegant fan pattern, which is woven partially with silver coated threads.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft and comfortable touch.
As indicated in the figure, the side edges and the folds are prominently discolored.
Also, there is a stain near the otaiko (square bow) area, though it might be hidden when worn.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
