This is an elegant
Fukuro obi with 'yukiwa'(snow crystal), wave, 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum), 'sakura'(cherry blossom) and pair 'Tsuru' (crane) pattern, which is woven.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
It has smudges on creases.
It has prominent smudges next to 'maegara' (front pattern on belly), that could be hidden when you tie it. (1st flaw photo)
It has slight smudges on both edges.
It has rather noticeable smudges near 'maegara' (front pattern on belly).
However, when you start wrapping the obi from your left tummy to right (Rotate obi clockwise), they will be hidden.
It also has some other flaws such as 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 elegant pattern!
