Nagoya Obi Nagoya Construction Otaiko Pattern Material unknown Length: Approx. 326 cm (short) Width: Approx. 30 cm Please excuse minor errors. This is a dramatic Nagoya obi with a large red butterfly dancing against a silver swirl background on an off-white base. Gold and silver threads are woven into the butterfly's wings, emitting an elegant shimmer. Butterflies are symbols of "rebirth" and "beauty," making this a very auspicious pattern perfect for celebratory occasions and spring attire. The length is approximately 326 cm, which is on the shorter side. Recommended for petite individuals, those accustomed to tying antique obi, or for use as a remaking material. There is a faint yellowing on the body wrap section, approximately every 10 cm, likely due to storage. Small stains are scattered throughout. Although there are stains, the design itself is magnificent, and from a distance, the vibrancy of the butterfly stands out. This item is offered at a special price considering its condition. Pairs well with Tsumugi, Komon, and antique kimonos. When paired with dark-colored kimonos such as black or navy, the off-white base and red butterfly will pop. Furthermore, by utilizing this beautiful butterfly pattern, you can create unique items such as bags, cushion covers, or tapestries through remaking. We strive to make the images as close to the actual color as possible, but there may be slight differences due to monitor and lighting conditions. Please be aware that there may be some storage odor due to long-term storage. If you are concerned, please air it out in the shade or have it professionally cleaned. For wrinkles, please use a pressing cloth and a medium-temperature iron. The waves in the fabric will lessen with wear. The item will be shipped in a compact package. If the obi is difficult to fold neatly for packaging, we may change the folding method. We prioritize discounts for followers and bulk purchases. For single item discounts, we may offer a small reduction depending on the situation.
