Japanese Silk Embroidered Nagoya Kimono Obi Vintage - Butterfly and Maple Leaf Theme -
The most convenient kimono obi today is the Nagoya obi. First produced in the city of Nagoya at the end of the Taisho era (1912-26), it is characterized by a portion of the obi being pre-folded and stitched in half. The narrow part wraps around the waist, while the wider part forms the bow of the obi tie. When worn, a Nagoya obi is tied with a single fold. This is a stunning piece and in great condition.
This piece is from the early 1970 and is in great condition. Clean and no tears. The theme is a butterfly with maple leaves.
