Showa Era (1945-1954) woven Nagoya obi with brown floral pattern. This is a woven obi with brown flowers on a brown background, and two each of gray and gold-colored flowers of the same shape are woven in. The taiko (the part that forms the back of the obi) has flowers woven with gold thread, making it a little more luxurious and an accent. The patterns are drawn in calm colors, making it easy to match with kimono. However, there are several areas where the black backing thread of the obi shows through, possibly from wear, and some black marks that look like ink stains (photos 5 and 6). ************* Measurements are approximate, as they are done by a non-professional: Total length: 305cm Width: 27cm This is a vintage item that has been stored at home for a long time, so please understand that there may be some wear, minor scratches, and discoloration due to aging before purchasing.
