This is a high-end
fukuro obi made by Kawashima Weaving Co, one of the most famous obi weavers in Kyoto Nishijin.
Near the left corner of the tare end is a sumo referee's fan motif which is the famous logo of the company.
This obi has dramatic wave pattern, which is woven.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft and comfortable touch.
As indicated in the figure, it has a slight folding line, and there are stains in the wrong side. It has some other flaws as photos and figure show, but as a whole it is in very good condition and can be worn.
