This is a vivid tsuzure
Nagoya obi with 'Kaede'(maple leaf) and 'tanzaku'(strip of paper) on silhouette of mountain design, which is woven.
Gold foil threads are shining on the bold design.
Textile is tsuzure silk, and has rather stiff touch.
Although not shown on the figure, it has slight discoloration on blue parts.
It has whitish glossy discoloration along creases on bottom 'otaiko'(square bow), that is not so noticeable.
It has tiny spots of mold on 'taresaki'(end of part), that are not so noticeable. (1st flaw photo)
It also has some other flaws such as folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
Though it has some flaws, it is still wearable enough.
Please enjoy its vivid fashion!
