This is a vintage
Maru obi with flying crane, 'shou-chiku-bai' (auspicious three motifs - pine tree, bamboo and ume blossom) and 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) on jigami(fan shape) pattern, which is woven.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
Lining is not added inside.
The pattern at otaiko(square bow) part is designed upside down from kaikiri-line(end mark line) to be tied with hikinuki style.
Its length is rather short, 398cm(13'27").
It is discolored overall and has folding lines.
Besides it has some other flaws so please check photos for details.
Unfortunately, it is no longer wearable due to the fabric is getting weak.
However, we hope you enjoy its vintage pattern for handicraft material!
