This is an impressive
nagoya obi with three doves pattern - white, black and yellow doves are woven in the pink background.
Textile is silk and jinken(rayon) blend and has soft and smooth touch.
As the figure shows it has some flaws from its age.
When it is tied, one maegara(front patterned part) part has couple of stains (C) . However, another maegara(front patterned part) part is OK.
It is well worn and has some other flaws as photos and figure show, but as a whole it is in very good condition.
