This is an elegant Fukuro obi with a 'karabana'(an imaginary Chinese flower), karakusa(arabesque) and temari(ball of cotton) pattern, which is woven.
Gold threads and foil threads are woven.
The textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
A Lining is not added inside.
Both ends are rather roughly sewn, which is not disturbing to wear.

The folding lines in the belt part are prominent, but those in the 'tare-saki'(tare end) and 'otaiko'(the square bow) are relatively slight, not disturbing to wear.
There are some other flaws such as tiny snags and stains(won't be seen when it's on ), so please check the figure and photos for details.

As a whole, it is in very good condition.
We hope you enjoy this elegant design!
