This is a graceful vintage Maru obi with wave and crane on royal cart pattern, which is woven.
Lots of shining gold foil threads are woven on the colorful pattern.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
The pattern is designed up side down to be tied with hikinuki knot style.
Both ends are roughly sewn, but not disturbing for wearing.

Both corners are slightly frayed.
The slight stain near the tesaki is not so noticeable with its pattern.
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 by ages, please enjoy its full taste of vintage!
