"Silver Bridge " Fukuro Obi - $69

ITEM NUMBER: 0808Obi1
Bright and dazzling fukuro style obi (patterned on only one side, wide the entire length) with an elegant, slightly raised pattern of bridges and pagodas. The backside is a mint green silk, but the silver fabric is very stiff, so we don't think it is silk. There is a fold line down the center of the belt section that might possibly be steamed out.

A small slight blemish on the belt portion, basting entact in some places.
