This is a very rare vintage narro obi - it has gorgeous phoenix, ' karabana'(imaginary flower in China) and geometric pattern, which is woven finely.
The
phoenix is like flamingo!
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft and comfortable touch.
It is well worn and has frays all over. So the weft threads for the pattern are missing at places.
However, it is still beautiful and unique piece!
