This is a rare fukusa made of asa, ramie.
It has special kind of crispy and stiff touch of asa.
It has magical lotus picture, which is dyed vividly.
It is from pre WWII.
It has some flaws as photos show. Stains are prominent, and we can not say it is in very good condition, but still very valuable piece!

*In Japanese, 'asa' includes below three kinds of material. You must feel it strange that 'linen' is included.
'Taima' = Hemp
'Karamushi','Choma' = Ramie
'Ama' = Linen
