This is a very charming fukuro obi with elegant cherry blossom and cloud pattern, which is woven mainly with silver coated threads over pink to white gradation background.
Textile is silk, and has soft touch.
Both ends are closed, but it has no lining inside.

It has rather long prominent folding lines as shown on photos from tying an unusual knot style. Folded lines are also discolored.
It also has some stains, but the ones at about 80cm(31.2in) from the Tare end are the most prominent ones.
Although it may not be tied in Otaiko, it may be worked around to enjoy other unusual knot style.
It is in very good condition overall.

*Approx background color - Ivory
