This is a vintage maru obi with elegant 'yukiwa'(snow crystal pattern) with flowers pattern, which is dyed. Embroidery is added partly in the both sides.
Textile is soft and smooth silk, and bold 'asanoha'(hemp leaf) pattern is woven.

Because of its old age, it has some stains, smudges and slight discoloration. (A) is whitish line shape stain.
However, as a whole it is in very good condition.
Although some stains will be revealed, but it must be able to tie on antique kimonos!
