Fukuro obi with 'kikko' (tortoise shell) 'Hanabishi'(flower diamonds), 'goshoguruma'(court carriage) and flower pattern, which is woven.
Gold foil threads are shining.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
Both ends are open, and it does not have a stiff lining inside.
The length is rather short. 416cm(13ft 7.78in)
It has a fray on the corner of 'taresaki'(end of part).
It has a snag 'maegara' (front pattern on belly) of Kanto-maki (rotate obi counterclockwise) side.
It will be not so noticeable if tied neatly. (Last flaw photo)
It has slight folding lines.

Though it has some imperfections, it is still wearable enough.
