This is a
nagoya obi with exotic 'shishi' (lion) pattern, which is woven against yellow background.
Textile is silk and jinken(rayon) blend, and has medium touch.
It is well worn, and has flaws at places as photos show. Smudges, stains and frays can be seen allover.
The white lion at the center of the otaiko (square bow) area is severely discolored into a brownish color.
Also, the kaikiri lines are about to come off.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
Sadly, wearing this obi seems quite difficult...
