This is a vintage nagoya obi with exotic sarasa(chintz) pattern, which is dyed. Various charming flowers are dyed with sedate colors.

Textile is silk and has soft and smooth touch.

The triangle mark can be seen allover.
The 'tatewaku'( waving lines ) pattern's shape also can be seen on the background.
It's wavered in judgment whether it's redyeing or it's such a design originally.
It also have some flaws such as discoloration and hole. There is a few stains on the tare end, please refer the photos and sheet for other flaws and details.

Although there is a bit of feeling of use, but there is no doubt that it's a great piece to enjoy its classical atmosphere!

Belt part 5.9 in ( 15 cm) x 88.2 in ( 224 cm)
