I purchased this about 10 years ago while on a sightseeing trip to Okinawa, at the Hotel Nikko Alivila in Yomitan Village. Material: Cotton Pattern/Design: Minsaa-ori (Minsaa Weave) *Minsaa means "a narrow (sa) belt woven (ori) with cotton (min)." The Minsaa obi (belt) combines the most basic patterns of five and four squares, representing "itsuyo" (forever), and it is said that the daughters of the island sent it to their beloved with the wish "may we be together forever." *It will be folded and sent via Nekopos (a Japanese delivery service). #FolkcraftUki-ori (Floating Weave) #OkinawaMinsaa #GoodLuck #AmuletAgainstEvil
