This is a
nagoya obi with enchanting 'kikko' (tortoise shell) pattern, which is woven along with lovely flower motifs in it.
Textile is jinken (rayon), and it's soft.
As the photos and the sheet show, there are snags near the tesaki end.
About the middle of the narrower belt part, there is another spot where loops of black threads are coming out.
However, these could be hidden when tied so this item's in very good condition.
