This is a graceful Chirimen
Nagoya obi with calligraphy and 'Sasa'(bamboo grass) design, which is dyed.
The calligraphy has modest gold glazes.
Textile is chirimen(crepe) silk and has soft but textured touch.
It has a stamp of the designer's signature on tare(wide end).
Not shown on the figure, the fabric of the tare seems to be shrunk and the wrong side appears(approx 0.5cm= 0.2in).
It has slight folding lines.
Please check photos and figure.
Though it has some flaws, it is in a very good wearable condition!
Please enjoy this stylish fashion!
