This is a vivid
Nagoya obi with "Karabana"(imaginary Chinese flower) 'Karakusa'(arabesque) design, which is dyed.
Shining gold glazing and silver glazing are added to the design.
Textile is Shioze silk, and it has soft and comfortable smooth touch which is the feature of Shioze silk.
It has stains on 'maegara' (front pattern on belly).
However, when you start wrapping the obi from your right tummy to left(Rotate obi counterclockwise), they will be hidden.
A whitish stain on bottom 'otaiko'(square bow) could be hidden when you tie it.
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!
