This is a refined
Nagoya obi with scenery of waterfront design, which is dyed.
The painting in India ink like design is tasteful.
There is a dyer's signature on right bottom 'otaiko'(square bow).
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
Although not shown on the figure, 'taresaki'(end of part) is curved.
And seams are coming out.
They may be caused by seams of the right side and the wrong side are matched.
It has slight sag on the wrong side of 'otaiko'(square bow), that is disturbing.
It has a slight stains as large as a japanese adult female's fingertip, that is disturbing because of its base color.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
If these flaws do not bother you, it could be still worn.
Please enjoy its refined design!
