This is a vintage
Maru obi with pattern such as bamboo leaf, 'Matsu'(pine tree), royal cart and 'kiri'(paulownia), which is woven.
The chic colors are so graceful.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
The length is rather short.384cm(12' 7.2")
The kaikiri lines(end mark line) and corners on both ends are frayed, so foils are peeling off and threads are scuff. (refer to the 1st & 2nd flaws photo)
(A) actually seems to be uneven spot of weaving.
It has some other flaws such as folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
The fabric might be a little weak, and it does not have enough strength to tie.
Please enjoy this vintage design as handicraft material or interior decor.
