This is a tasteful tsuzure
Nagoya obi with butterfly design, which is embroidered with 'Ginkoma'(silver outlining embroidery work).
Textile is exquisite silk and has rather stiff 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.
Although not shown on the figure, it has discoloration on the base allover.
And it has tiny peeling spots of foil on 'otaiko'(square bow) and 'maegara' (front pattern on belly).
It also has some other flaws such as rather prominent folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
If these flaws do not bother you, it could be still worn.
Please enjoy its tasteful design!
