This is an elegant silver Fukuro obi with flower circle, 'karabana'(imaginary Chinese flower) and a pair of bird pattern, which is embroidered.
Drawn work (one of the techniques of removing thread partly to make a ground textile seen through) is added to the base.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.

Not shown on the sheet, it has slight discoloration on threads.
It has some other flaws such as tiny snags and folding lines.
Please check photos and figure.

If these flaws do not bother you, it could be still worn.
This piece would add extra elegance to your kimono outfit.
