This is a charming vintage chuya obi.
Its right side has exotic phoenix and 'hana karakusa' (flower arabesque) pattern woven.
Textile is jinken(rayon) , and it's soft.
Its backside is black shusu.

As the figure shows, it has a folding line left when tied.
There are also some stains on this item.
The ones in photo A are located about the main otaiko (square bow) area but they are relatively faint.
On the other hand, the ones in photo B about the maegara (front pattern) area a little stand out.
It also has some other flaws including discoloration.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

Overall, it's still in very good condition for its old age.
Please enjoy classical kimono styles coordinating this with your vintage kimono collection.
