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 a stain in the otaiko part ( it is approx 52cm-20.5in from the tare end). It will be the very lower part of otaiko part .
It has slight patinas. Please check detail photos.
We highly recommend this wonderful obi!

*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
