This is a fantastic Tsumugi Fukuro obi with "Karabana"(imaginary Chinese flower) 'Karakusa'(arabesque) design, which is dyed on the gradation color base.
Shining gold glazing is added to the design.
Textile is Tsumugi silk and has soft touch.
There are designer's signature on upper 'tare'(wide end).
Both ends are rather roughly sewn, that are no problem to wear.

It has slight and minor discoloration on the base due to its age.
The flaw photo shows gold glazing, not discoloration.
A stain on edge of 'maegara' (front pattern on belly) is slight and not noticeable. (2nd flaw photo)
It also has some other imperfections such as folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.

Though it has some imperfections, it is still wearable enough.
Please enjoy its fantastic fashion!
