This is a vintage
Maru obi with a bamboo and sasa(bamboo leaves) pattern, which is woven.
The textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
The length is rather short, 380cm(12'6").
The pattern on the otaiko(square bow) part is designed upside down from the kaikiri-line(end mark line) to be tied with the hikinuki style.
There are some stains on the 'tare-saki'(tare end) and 'te-saki'(one end), which is bothering.(refer to the 3rd and 7th photos of the flaws)
There are some other faults such as folding lines, so please check the figure and photos for details.
Though it has some faults, we hope you enjoy this tasteful vintage design!
