This is an elegant
Fukuro obi with traditional motifs such as "Karabana"(imaginary Chinese flower) 'Karakusa'(arabesque), 'shippou-tsunagi'(interlocking circles), 'kikko'(tortoise shell) hanabishi pattern on 'kiredori'(overlapping fabric scraps), which is embroidered.
It has fine drawn works (one of the techniques of removing thread partly to make a ground textile seen through).
The gold foiled threads elegantly shine.
Textile is exquisite soft silk.
The 'tesaki'(end of folded part) and 'taresaki'(end of wide part) were roughly closed.
There are some flaws such as folding lines, small snags which don't bother to wear.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
It is in very good condition.
Enjoy wearing the elegant design.
