This is an exotic Hon
Fukuro obi with
phoenix and "Karabana"(imaginary Chinese flower) 'Karakusa'(arabesque) pattern, which is woven.
Colorful foil threads are shining on the three dimensional woven pattern.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
Both ends seems to be sewn by amateur roughly, that are no problem to wear.
Although not shown on the figure, it has slight frays on corners on 'taresaki'(end of part) and 'tesaki'(narrow end).
It also has some other imperfections such as folding lines.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
It is in very good condition as a whole.
Please enjoy its exotic fashion!
