This is a
nagoya obi with modern brushstroke-like pattern, which is colorfully woven.
Textile is jinken(rayon) and has rather stiff touch.
Patinas are rather spread with age, though the otaiko (square bow) area still remains relatively flawless.
Also, the patinas over the maegara (front pattern) area are not so outstanding to make it impossible to wear this piece.
Still it will go well with a vintage kimono.
