This is a tasteful
Nagoya obi with 'Ume'(Plum blossoms) and 'sakura'(cherry blossom) on 'yukiwa'(snow crystal) design, which is embroidered.
Glossy foiled base is tasteful.
Textile is exquisite silk and has light touch.
Although not shown on the figure, it has pin holes caused by basting stitches on 'taresaki'(end of part), both edges of 'otaiko'(square bow) and the narrow belt part.
It has light brownish stains on 'otaiko'(square bow), that are not so noticeable from a distance.(A)
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, it is still wearable enough.
Please enjoy its tasteful fashion!
