This is an exotic
Fukuro obi with 'karabana'(imaginary Chinese flower) 'karakusa' (arabesque) on stripe design, which is woven.
It also has lattice pattern, which is woven with shining gold foil threads and foil threads.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
It has lining inside, but it is very soft.
It has slight folding lines, that are not disturbing.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
Although not shown on the figure and photo, it has rather prominent folding lines on the wrong side.
It has two snags between the quadrilateral mark and 'tesaki'(narrow end).
Though it has some flaws, it is still wearable enough.
Please enjoy its exotic design!
