This is a rich blue sioze
nagoya obi with nested diamond motif, which is dyed in white.
At the center of the diamond of otaiko (square bow) pattern is a flower in profile of kin-koma embroidery technique.
Textile is sioze silk, and it has soft and smooth touch.
As shown in the second flaw photo, there is a rather large stain just above the otaiko (square bow) pattern (the second photo - approx 4cm- 1.6in large).
Two similar ones can be seen under the otaiko (square bow) pattern, though they're not indicated...sorry...
Rubbing marks typical of sioze textile can be seen as well.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
