This is a vivid summer vintage
Nagoya obi with bold sunflower design, which is embroidered.
Shining foil thread is added to the vivid design.
Textile is transparent silk sha and has soft touch.
'Maegara' (front patterned part) is on one side.
When you start wrapping the obi from your left tummy to right(Rotate obi clockwise), Maegara will show.
Although not shown on the figure, it has slight discoloration on the embroidery part, and has tiny patinas a little.
It has big loose threads on kaikiri lines(end mark line) of the wrong side of 'tare'(wide end), and has some holes on edges.
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!
