This is a lovely vintage nagoya obi with a charming embroidered pattern of 'hana-ikada' (flowers on raft).
Brilliant pink of the cord and some of the flowers makes this obi look very cute.
Textile is ro (summer sheer fabric - jinken), and has soft and slightly textured touch.

Patinas are accumulated over time and they're somewhat outstanding on the ivory background.
The embroidered place at the tare end has a few tears.
It seems difficult to wear this piece.
Please make full use of this charming embroidery for your handicraft.

For the details of the flaws, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
