This is a luxurious vintage maru obi with innovative pheasant? and pomegranate pattern, which is carefully embroidered mainly with gold coated threads!!
Crops such as rice and corns are also embroidered in places, and it is giving out a very unique atmosphere!
Textile is silk, and it has soft and smooth touch.

It is hard to tell by the photos, but there is a seam going full length along the gold embroidered line on its wrong side.
It has slight folding lines and stains as shown on photos, but they are not too disturbing.
Please see photos for details.

This piece is indeed a very eye-catching and one of a kind maru obi for sure!!
