This is a
Fukuro obi with an ichimatsu(checkerboard), ume(Japanese apricot) matsu(pine tree) and crane pattern, which is woven.
Foil threads are added on it, shining brilliantly.
The textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
A thick lining is not added inside.
It has no folding lines, so it seems to be unworn.
*It has a slight mold smell.
There are stains and yellow patches(patina) on the pattern, which are relatively slight.
There are spots of mold on the belt part.
For details, please check the figure and photos.
If you do not mind these faults, this attractive piece!
