This is a vintage
Maru obi with folding fan, 'tsuzumi'(Japanese drum), flying crane, 'kiku'(chrysanthemum) and classical pattern, which is woven.
Soft coloring is impressive.
Textile is 'Jinken'(rayon) and has soft touch.
It is relatively short, 386cm(12'66'').
It has big loose stitches on almost all edge due to weak threads.(the 4th photo of flaws)
It will become bigger in the future.
It also has discolorations by ages and folding lines by use.
Please check photos and figure.
It seems to be not suitable to wear due to the loose stitches.
Please enjoy this attractive vintage design as display, handicraft material and so on.
