This is a silk Nagoya obi with an elegant iris pattern woven onto a refined ecru (beige) base. Its subdued, understated color scheme makes it versatile, pairing well with a wide range of kimonos such as houmongi, tsukesage, and komon, and it subtly adds a seasonal touch to your coordination. The iris is also known as an auspicious pattern associated with "shobu" (martial valor), making it very popular for outfits from around April to June. This obi is perfect for the upcoming season. Furthermore, the weaving is in good condition, and the otaiko (drum knot) pattern appears beautifully, ensuring an elegant and well-defined kimono look. [Condition] As this is a used item, there are slight signs of wear from being tied and some age-related patina. However, there are no noticeable large stains or damage, and it can still be worn with plenty of life left.
