This is a tasteful
Nagoya obi with bamboo on 'kasumi'(mist) design, which is embroidered.
The chic color usage is attractive.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
'Maegara' (front patterned part) is on one side.
When you start wrapping the obi from your left tummy to right(Rotate obi clockwise), Maegara will show.
It seems to be new from the touch feeling, but it seems to be late Showa period (1926-1989) because its design is on the wrong side.
It has slight discoloration as you see on the figure.
Although not shown on the figure, it has vague and slight stains on the 'kasumi'(mist) design of 'otaiko'(square bow).
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
Though it has some flaws by ages.
Please enjoy its tasteful fashion!
