Climbing Clematis

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Hitoe Obi. Hitoe obi like this are worn with casual to semi-formal kimono. This one likely originates in the early to mid Showa Period (1926 - 1989). This obi is beige in colour. It's features a charming pattern of climbing clematises.

 

I have inspected this obi in detail there is quite a bit of staining. There is a prominent fold line throughout most of the obi, and staining along the obi's edges. This piece is in poor to average vintage condition.
