This is a vintage
nagoya obi with eye-catching 'karabana'(imaginary Chinese flower) pattern, which is woven colorfully.
Textile is silk and jinken(rayon) blend and has soft touch.
It has a prominent tear and stain in the tare end. Textile seems to become weak.
We can't say it is in very good condition, but it must be an excellent handicraft material or interior decor!

Belt part 5.9 in ( 15 cm) x 85.8 in ( 218 cm)
