This is a charming summer
nagoya obi with rare cicada pattern! It is woven with ro-tsuzure technique and has stiff touch.
Otaiko part has smudges and discoloration prominently(they are more prominent than the photo), and there is a prominent folding line.
It has some other flaws as photos and figure show.
We can't say it is in very good condition, but it must be an excellent handicraft material!
