This is a summer Ro
nagoya obi with attractive thistle pattern, which is woven colorfully.
Textile is ro, summer sheer silk and has soft touch.
As the photos and the sheet show, there are prominent patinas at places. It also has smudges and frays, but as a whole it is in very good condition.
It must be cute obi for antique summer kimono!
