This is a vintage vivid pink
nagoya obi - it has lovely motif of rings of waves which is woven.
Textile is silk and has soft touch.
There are frays on the end of tare and stitch is coming loose on the belt part as a photo shows.
It has some other flaws such as patinas on motif and stain(A) on the belt.
The lining becomes weak and there are tears in the inside at places.
It can not be worn, but it must be excellent handicraft material or interior decor!

Belt part 5.9 in ( 15 cm) x 88.2 in ( 224 cm)
