This is a graceful vintage Maru obi with fan, jigami(paper cut of shape of fan), shippo-tsunagi(jointed four circles) sayagata(arranged swastika) pattern, kikko(tortoise shell) and higaki(cypress fence) pattern, which is woven.
Gold and silver foils threads are woven on its design and shine elegantly.
Textile is transparent exquisite ro silk and has soft touch.
The pattern on otaiko(square bow) part is designed upside down from kaikiri-line(end mark line) to be tied with hikinuki style.

It has discoloration and tiny snags due to its old age.
It has other flaws such as pinholes, so for the detail please check figures and photos.

Though it has some flaws by ages, please enjoy its full taste of vintage!
