This is an elegant
Fukuro obi with large pair oshidori (mandarin duck) and flower arabesque pattern, which is woven.
Silver threads woven on its base and pattern are gracefully shining.
Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
Both ends are roughly sewn.(It doesn't matter when tied.)
The snags near the 'Maegara' (front patterned part) are not so noticeable.
They will be hidden ehen you start wrapping the obi from your left tummy to right(Rotate obi clockwise).
It has folding lines.
Though not indicated, it has patinas on both ends. (refer to the 3rd flaws photo)
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
Although not shown on the photo and figure, it has a slight stain on the plain part.
It's still wearable enough in very good condition.
Please enjoy this graceful fashion.
