This exquisite silk summer crepe obi holds historical significance, having been part of a textile collection assembled before 1933 by Dr. Charles E. Mullin. Dr. Mullin, a chemist specializing in fabric dyes and dyeing techniques for American Celanese Co., extensively traveled across Europe and Asia in the 1920s and early 1930s, gathering regional textiles and garments.

In excellent condition, this obi measures 14 inches by 150 inches (36 cm x 381 cm) and stands as a testament to Dr. Mullin's collection, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistry of regional textiles during that period.
