Oriental Navy Blue White Asanoha Japanese Style 腕時計

Gift your friend this necklace watch with this traditional Asanoha fabric pattern. The background is a dark Navy blue and the line-work is white. A traditional Japanese herb leaves stencil pattern in traditional Japanese colors, in this case Navy blue. The Asanoha is in a hexagonal shape, and that is the reason why this pattern is called as such. Popular during the Edo period and still in demand today. This kind of pattern is often used on fabric for yukata or a jinbei, traditional Japanese clothes for in the hot summer months. But I have seen the pattern also used as part of a kimono.
