This is a vintage
Nagoya obi with 'karabana'(imaginary Chinese flower) and 'karakusa'(arabesque) on 'matsukawa-hishi'(pine bark diamond) pattern, which is woven.
Gold foil threads woven in the pattern are elegantly shining.
Textile is 'Jinken'(rayon) and has soft touch.
Smudges on 'taresaki'(end of wide part) and throughout both edges are not noticeable.(First photo of flaws)
Folding lines are faint.
Please check photos and figure.
It is still wearable enough.
Please enjoy this elegant fashion.
