Hi there,
I am fairly new to Japanese collecting and came across this headband. I know that there are thousands of fakes out there and I have seen similar specimen on IMA but seeing that I like to talk to legitimate collectors and not dealers, I would be interested to know if there is a golden standard in these. This one is a bit clean which concerns me, a linen cotton type, seems printed (there is a brown aura around the lettering) There is yellowing only on the fold exposed, otherwise fairly crisp.
What would be the consensus?
Thanks!
