This is a graceful vintage
Maru obi with fan, flying cranes, 'matsu'(pine tree), 'Ume'(Plum blossoms) and ivy pattern, which is woven.
Textile is exquisite silk and has light touch.
The length is rather short. 366cm(12ft 0.09in)
It has discoloration on the base due to its age.
It has frays on kaikiri lines(end mark line) of 'taresaki'(end of part).
Red color threads are woven along edge of the wrong side. (A)
It also has some other flaws such as folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
Unfortunately, it is no longer wearable due to the fabric is getting weak.
However, we hope you enjoy its zestful design of vintage as a handicraft material or display!
