This is a lovely Hon Fukuro obi with butterfly, 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) and 'Sakura'(cherry blossom) in 'Koushi' (lattice) pattern, which is woven vividly.
Silver and gold foil threads included sparkle gorgeously.
Textile is silk, and it has soft to the touch.

It has slight folding lines. (sorry no photos)
A stain on Otaiko pattern is faint and not disturbing.
Please see photos for details.


Overall, it is in very good condition and still a lovely obi to wear.
This piece would add extra elegance to your kimono outfit.
