This is an elegant silk bolt for Nagoya obi with 'onagadori'(long tail bird), 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) and 'tsubaki' (camellia) on stream design, which is woven.
Raden (design in mother-of-pearl inlay), gold and silver glazes are added to the design and fascinatingly shine by the angle of light.

It has two design in a bolt for 'otaiko'(square bow) and 'maegara' (front patterned part).(Blue lined parts on the sheet)

There are small spots of molds.
It has color immigration on one end.(The figure says stain)
It has some other flaws, such as faint fray, as shown on photos.
Please check photos and figure.

It must be a good handcraft material.
