This is a vintage
nagoya obi with charming genjiguruma(wheel) motif which is embroidered elaborately. maegara( the patterned part of belt part, which will be the belly part when it is tied ) is only on one side.
Textile is black shusu silk and has soft and smooth touch.
Photo A shows a whitish stain which is quite prominent however it is not seen when the obi is tied. It has some other flaws from its old age however it will make a wonderful match with vintage kimono!
