This fukuro obi is woven with tsume tsuzure technique. One threads by one threads, it was woven elaborately with nails, and it had to be taken incredibly long time to be completed. It has special kind of stiff and comfortable touch of tsume tsuzure silk. It has elegant flowers and butterfly motif pattern. It has many small or slight smudges/stains at places. However, it is still very valuable piece! *Approx background color - Ivory Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, Soft, □ Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff ) Photo:Nakajima
