ITEM# MISC 1014 SORRY, SOLD	A Bundle of Asa Ties This one of the most unique folk textiles from Japan is a bundle of 20 small asa-linen/hemp ties. The entire ties are tied with another roll of linen tie and then tied with an old indigo-dyed cotton tie. The use for these ties is unknown but we assume that they were for farming or commercial works. The linen is hand-woven in natural color. The each tie is slightly differently in length but they are approximately 3' wide. Regardless the mystery of the original use, this bundle of ties is a simply charming country folk art. Ca. Late 1800's to Early 1900s. Size Width: Approximately 4.5" Size Length: Approximately 14" Size Depth: Approximately 3" Questions? info@ichoya.com DETAIL DETAIL DETAIL
