This is a gorgeous vintage Maru obi with vibrant 'matsu'(pine tree) design, which is woven boldly.
Gold foil threads woven in the pattern are elegantly shining.
Textile is exquisite silk and has smooth touch.
It has kaikiri lines(end mark line) on both ends, which is suitable for Hikinuki knot style.

Not shown on the sheet, threads are frayed on lots of parts along the edges.
Discoloration and patinas on the base are slight and unremarkable.
It has some other flaws such as tiny blackish stains and folding lines(side lines on the sheet).
Please check photos and figure,

However, it is in very good conditions as a vintage.
Please enjoy wearing the gorgeous design at special events.
