This is a fantastic
nagoya obi with charming 'karako'(Chinese child figure) and
Furisode girl picture, which is dyed with elegant touch.
Textile is sioze silk, and it's soft and smooth.
It has stains and patinas in the faces of motifs (A) (B) , and they are rather prominent. In the tesaki end (C) , dyeing of background color ends before the tesaki end seam.
It has some other flaws as photos show, but as a whole it is in very good condition. If you don't mind the (A) (B), it can be tied.
