This is a graceful silver fukuro obi from Kyoto Nishijin. Royal cart, 'kicho'( partition used by noble people in ancient days), 'tsuzumi'(Japanese hand drum) and flowers motifs are woven elaborately. Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft touch. It has some flaws as photos show, but as a whole it is in very good condition. *Approx background color - silver Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □ Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff ) photo:kobayashi
