This is a summer sha Nagoya obi with a bellflower pattern that sparkles without being gaudy, using gold thread on a dark gray-blue background. It is not as gray as in the photos. Kimonos are also available. 345 x 30 I don't think there are any particular stains, but if you are sensitive or concerned about minor details, please purchase directly from a specialty store. It will be shipped compactly folded.
