This silk bolt is a traditional Japanese fabric intended for making a Nagoya obi.
The fabric is made of Ro silk, a type of woven fabric traditionally used for summer garments and accessories in Japan. Ro is characterized by its distinctive open-weave structure with sheer horizontal bands (sukashi), which allow air to circulate through the fabric. This breathable construction helps keep the wearer cool during hot weather while maintaining an elegant and refined appearance.
Despite its airy weave, the fabric is sturdy and well-constructed, giving it a substantial feel and excellent durability.
The condition is excellent and appears to be as good as new, with no noticeable flaws.
