Nagoya obi with a design of birds resting on flowering branches. Silk Length: Approximately 359cm Width: Approximately 30.2cm The base color is a pale uguisu (Japanese bush warbler) color, or perhaps a pale olive green. The taiko (back) and mae-gara (front pattern) sections have a brighter, pale yellow base color. Gold is very faintly visible in some parts of the taiko section, applied in very fine particles for a subtle effect. The small birds resting on the branches are charming, and the obi has a bright impression that evokes good fortune. I was captivated by its lyrical atmosphere and acquired it, but I have not had the opportunity to wear it and have kept it in storage. It has almost no signs of wear, and I believe it is in beautiful condition with no damage. I believe it can be enjoyed with various types of kimono, such as tsukesage, komon, iromuji, and tsumugi.
