This is a high-end zentsu(fully patterned) fukuro obi, which was woven by Yamaki Orimono Co, and named Manyo.
It has very sophisticated design - peony, ume 'plum blossom', iris and persimmon are woven finely in the ceiling grid squares.
Textile has very soft touch.
It has a rather prominent folding line and some slight stains as shown.
Stains (A & C) on Otaiko pattern area are not prominent ones, however, stains (B) on one side of the front patterns are rather prominent.
Folding line to make narrow belt,around the front pattern, is somewhat discolored.
