This glossy magenta pink
nagoya obi is from pre WWII.
Decorative 'tsuchi' (mallet) is largely embroidered in its otaiko (square bow) area.
Textile is shusu jinken(rayon) , and it has soft and very smooth touch.
The stains above the otaiko pattern won't be disturbing since they will be hidden when worn.
Photo B shows faint frayed, or rather snagged?, spots.
Due to its old age, this obi has rather worn-out feel overall.
However, still it's in very good condition considering its age.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
