This obi boasts an unusual and striking design featuring metallic-thread couching and painting reminiscent of late 19th or early 20th-century Japanese textile techniques. The base material appears to be old rayon or a similar equivalent, indicating a possible origin in the early 20th century, as rayon was occasionally used as a base for luxurious textiles during that time.

The designs, painted in various shades of blue, are then highlighted with delicate embroidery. The couched embroidery employs silver metallic threads, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Measuring 13 inches by 140 inches (33 cm x 356 cm), this piece is in excellent condition.
