Thank you for viewing. Fish and Nanban Ship (Western-style ship) with Sails and Small Birds Woven Design, Antique Obi (sash), Taisho Roman, Pure Silk Nagoya Style Taiko (drum) section: 125cm, Te (hand) section: 260cm, Total length: 385cm The vermillion red obi features silver threads woven to represent the ocean. A fantastical Nanban ship with floral sails and two sets of paddle wheels floats upon it. The Nanban ship is adorned with small birds, fish, and flowers. Below, the sea stretches out, with fish swimming about. The decorative, flat composition and the bluish-green color give it a retro feel. As is common with old obis, the Nanban ship is large, so it won't all fit on the otaiko (back knot). Tie it focusing on your favorite parts, such as the birds. It's old, but in very good condition. Nanban ship motifs were popular at the time, and there are various obis with this design, but this is a rather unusual pattern. #tsukitoji★Kimono and Old Cloth This is a used item that has aged over time, so it is for those who understand this.
