This is a refined Nagoya obi with clouds and 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) on 'jigami'(fan shape) design, which is embroidered.
Gold foil threads are shining on the design.
Textile is Shioze silk, and it has soft and comfortable smooth touch which is the feature of Shioze silk.
'Maegara' (front patterned part) is on one side.
When you start wrapping the obi from your right tummy to left (Rotate obi counterclockwise), the maegara will appear.

It has slight discoloration on the base due to its age.
It has tiny stains on bottom 'otaiko'(square bow), that are slight and not noticeable. (4th flaw photo)
The fabric of 'taresaki'(end of part) seems to be shrunk, and its back fabric has been pulled out a bit.
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 wearing it as everyday clothes!
