This is a fabulous summer
nagoya obi - from the antique asa(ramie) fabric, we have made this obi ( we made two obis with similar design ).
It has wonderful dragonfly pattern, which is dyed with very detailed and vivid touch. Some parts are added embroidery.
Please check its wonderful details with more photos.
Textile is hand plied and hand woven asa, which has very delicate touch.
Beige part is contemporary asa fabric, we have added.
It has slight patinas, but there is not serious damage for wearing.
We highly recommend this wonderful obi!
