【Obiage & Obijime】
【Width】13cm
Obiage is the cloth that decorates the upper edge of the obi (sash) and wraps the obimakura (obi pillow). The role of the obiage is to hide the obimakura and shape the obi tie. Because the obiage is slightly visible, it gives a華やか (flashy) and sharp impression, so it is often incorporated as a fashion point even when dressing without an obimakura.
Obijime is a cord that tightens the obi to prevent it from coming undone. It is tied last, over the obi, after the obi has been tied. Since it is in the center of the entire kimono, its color and decoration change the overall atmosphere. Nowadays, its role as a coordinate is more significant than preventing the obi from coming undone.
This is a set of obiage & obijime.
・Kimono types... Awase (lined kimono), Komon (small pattern kimono), Iromuji (single-color kimono), Tsumugi (pongee), Wool, Omeshi (silk fabric), Cotton kimono, etc. Perfect for everyday wear for hobbies.
Obiage
There are folding wrinkles, but there seems to be no particular stains. I think it's a beautiful item. It has a luster and is suitable as an accent color for plain obis and kimonos. Also, matching the color of the antique hakama (lining), if you get tired of obiage with only pale colors, wouldn't such a clear color be perfect for the autumn foliage season?
Obijime
※Even if used as a set or separately, it has a strong presence, but colors like brown are similar colors, so they can surprisingly blend in. I think it suits antiques especially well. It was a bit flashy for me, so I'm letting it go.
