This is an elegant orange fukuro obi.
Graceful flower cart pattern is beautifully woven in fan pattern.
Gold and silver foil threads are used.
Textile is exquisite silk and has comfortable touch.
Both ends are open, and it does not have a stiff lining inside.
As the photos and figure show, it has some flaws.
It has smudges in places and especially, the smudges in the both ends parts are rather prominent.
The stain in the wrong side of otaiko is slight, but large. (B)
However, it is in very good condition and if both ends are sewn, it can be tied at formal occasions!
*To complete as a wearable obi, additional $50-$60 is needed.
*Approx background color - HTML code (F98633)
