This
nagoya obi gracefully shines with the woven-in silver coated wefts.
Loquat-like pattern with green leaves and orange fruits are freshly woven out.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
One side of the maegara (front patterns) have noticeable snags, though the other side remains undamaged.
The smudges and discoloration are somewhat outstanding in the blank area near the narrower tesaki end.
However, the flaws over the otaiko (square bow) pattern is unlikely to catch attention.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
