This is a vintage black
nagoya obi with stunning
shishi (lion) pattern finely embroidered.
The pattern is themed from 'shakkyou', a
Noh play.
The pattern expresses a scene in which
shishi runs across a bridge surrounded with blooming peonies.
Textile is smooth black syusu, and it's soft.
The shusu fabric is remarkably frayed in many places, and the tare end is torn.
It's no longer wearable.
Please enjoy this enchanting piece in handicraft work.
