This is a vintage Maru obi with a shippo-tsunagi(jointed four circles) and decorative flower pattern which is woven.
A lot of gold and silver foil threads are woven on its design, and it loose exotic.
The textile is exquisite silk and has smooth touch.
A thick lining is not added inside.

The stitches of the belt part are coming loose largely, which needs to be repaired to wear.
There is a reddish stain on the 'maegara'(the front design), but it won't be seen when you start wrapping the obi from your right tummy to the left (Rotate obi counterclockwise).
There are discoloration in the base due to its age and tiny patches of patina.
There are some other faults such as folding lines, so please check the figure and photos for details.

Though it has some faults, we hope you enjoy this vintage pretty design!
