This is a fantastic Nagoya obi with poppy design, which is dyed.
Its soft color design emerges out against black color base.
Textile is Shioze silk, and it has soft and comfortable smooth touch which is the feature of Shioze silk.
There are designer's signature on 'taresaki'(end of part).

It has a water stain like light brownish stain on 'otaiko'(square bow), that is disturbing at close range. (4th flaw photo)
It has prominent patinas on solid parts of bottom 'otaiko'(square bow), that could be hidden when you tie it. (A)
It has rather prominent discoloration and patinas on 'otaiko'(square bow) and 'maegara' (front pattern on belly) due to its age.
It also has some other imperfections.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.

If these imperfections do not bother you, it could be still worn.
Please enjoy its fantastic design!
