There is a glamorous
Fukuro obi with autumn flowers such as 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum), 'Kikyou'(Japanese bellflower) and 'Hagi'(Japanese bush clover) on checkerboard pattern, which is woven.
The 'karaori'(woven thickly in Chinese style) style vivid and three dimensional pattern draw peoples attention.
Textile is exquisite soft silk with woven 'matsukawa-bishi'(pine bark diamond) pattern with gold foiled threads.
There are many snags which are not that noticeable due to the busy background.
Although it's not mentioned on the figure, there are some snags on 'otaiko'(square bow), too.
There are some other flaws such as folding lines.
If you don't mind those minor flaws, it is still in good condition to wear.
Enjoy wearing the graceful design.
