Japanese silk brocade fabric
colourful floral pattern
Handwoven (very time-consuming layered weaving, as you can see from last few photos showing the back side of the threads).
If you're interested in how handwoven obi fabric is made, please have a look at the video below:
Material: Silk with gold foil and colour threads
Size (approx.): 58cm (height) x 31cm (width, it's double sided, the back side is plain black fabric, so effectively the total width is 62cm)
Condition: overall in very good condition, but please expect some wear and tear for vintage textile.
It's from a vintage obi (kimono belt) that my wife collected, photo 20 shows how the original obi looks like (this photo is for reference only, as the listing is for a fabric rather than the whole obi)
Photo 1 shows the "whole picture" of the item, other photos show small sections of the fabric.
Photo 21 shows the back side (this is connected with the front piece, so it's like the back side of a bag, see photo 22)
