This is an elegant Fukuro obi with 'Sakura'(cherry blossom), 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) and 'Ume' (plum blossom) on ichimatsu(checkerboard) pattern, which is woven.
Gold and foiled threads woven in the pattern are gracefully shining.
Textile is polyester and has stiff touch.
The tesaki is open and lining is not added inside.

The stains and patinas are relatively slight, but the folding lines on the belt part are prominent. (refer to the 4th flaws photo)
The tiny patinas on the wrong side (B) will be hidden as well as the stain (A) when tied.
It also has slight smudges.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.

Although not shown on the figure and photo, it has rather prominent folding lines on the wrong side.
It has two snags between the quadrilateral mark and 'tesaki'(narrow end).

Though it has some flaws, please enjoy its elegant design!
