His name is woven inside the tare end.
Gorgeous 'shokkou-mon' (octagon and rectangle pattern) pattern is woven with glittering metallic coated threads all through the surface of the right side.
However, only about 60 % of it has the colors.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.
No stiff lining is inserted.
As the photos and the sheet show, there are some snags and a faint folding line.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
