This is a lovely obi -
its right side has pretty dianthus flower pattern dyed on the light blue background
its backside has a romantic dyed pattern of delightful roses and peacock's feathers.
Textile is asa (ramie).
This item is so short with the length of 110.2 in (280cm) that it must be impossible to tie it.
The rose fabric is only used about 76.8 in (195cm) of the backside and the rest is covered with the same one as the right side.
As the photos and the sheet show, the backgrounds have faint discoloration and patinas.
There are other flaws as well.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
Please make full use of this lovely piece for your handicraft work.
