This atmospheric antique Nagoya obi features delicate **lily of the valley (suzuran)** hand-painted on a satin-like black background. The white flowers, each carefully painted, and the deep green leaves are beautiful, and this obi has the unique charm and presence of an antique piece. The subdued black background prevents it from being overly sweet, and it can be paired with komon, tsumugi, antique kimonos, and more. It's also great for interior decoration or as a material for remaking. Although it has some thickness, it feels soft, as if it doesn't have an obi core. --- 【Product Details】 ・Type: Nagoya Obi ・Era: Antique (Taisho to early Showa period) ・Ground color: Black ・Pattern: Lily of the valley design ・Technique: Hand-painted ・Construction: Hiraki-jitate (open construction) --- 【Condition】 ・As an antique item, there are some color unevenness, light stains, wrinkles, and peeling due to aging. ・Recommended for those who understand antiques. ※Please check the photos carefully for the condition. --- 【Recommended Points】 ・Rare hand-painted obi ・Elegant and impressive design of black background x lily of the valley ・Great compatibility with both modern and antique kimonos ・Recommended as a collector's item --- ※Please refrain from purchasing if you do not understand antique or used items. ※It will be shipped folded compactly. --- 《Dimensions》 Width: Approximately 30.2cm Length: Approximately 344cm ※Measurements are approximate.
