I cut the thread from a sleeping Nagoya obi and sketched a cat on it. Photos 4 and later are photos of the original white cat. I've added colorful cats. This is an 8-sun Nagoya obi with an elegant pattern of karahana (Chinese-style floral design). I think it's a calm, easy-to-match color. As you can see from the back, it has an iridescent gradation, making for an elaborate weave. Of course, that gradation also appears on the front, making it mesmerizing... It's a shame I can't quite convey it in photos... (my photography skills...) I'll try taking pictures again on another day. The cat has fine glitter, making it shimmer elegantly depending on the light and viewing angle. There's an explanation of the cat obi in my profile, so please read it if you're considering a purchase... #TsumuraCatObi
