Vintage Japanese satin (silk) obi from mid Showa (1926-1989). It's hot pink with bold yellow-gold and white flowers.
This is a Nagoya obi. It is prefolded and stitched lengthwise on one end. For resale, the wholesaler would remove the stitches so it would lay flat but usually the obi was not finished inside the fold as it was not exposed. In order to cover the unfinished area, the obi then would be folded widthwise and stitched back up. If a longer obi is needed, it can be taken apart and another piece of fabric can be attached to cover the unfinished area. As it is now, it measures 88" x 12".
Condition is excellent. There is one tiny flea bite hole.
