This is an appealing vintage Maru obi.
Golden crane and silvery phoenix are woven in the octagons of the red 'shokkou-mon' (octagon and rectangle pattern).
Textile is silk and has soft touch.
The pattern is set upside down, and it's supposed to be tied in a special way called 'hikinuki'.
There's no stiff lining inside.

Because of its old age, it has some flaws as photos show.
The base seems a little discolored with age.
Also, there are snags such one shown in the first flaw photo here and there.
As for other damages, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

Still it could be an attractive display in your room!

*Approx background color - ivory
Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □ Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff )
