This is an opened
nagoya obi with a stunning
noh actor motif thickly and finely embroidered.
The actor is playing
Shōjō, and his somber face is drawn.
Textile is silk, and has soft touch.
The folding line is rather prominent, and there are some flaws on the reverse side.
However, they're not so outstanding as to make it difficult to wear this obi.
Shown in photo B is an irregularly woven spot.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
As a whole, it's in very good condition.
