Obijime (Belt Cord) - Fine Western Square Braid, Plain [Grayish White] Made by Ryukobo, Nara Braid, Featured in Utsukushii Kimono Summer 2024 Issue, Page 130 #HitohanaObijime Thank you for viewing. This is an introduction to the fine Western square braid obijime made by Ryukobo. This obijime is braided on a marudai (round stand), originally called Nara braid. Later, it was used as a decorative cord for the Emperor's Western-style clothing, hence the name "Western square braid" (or "round cord" for Western clothes). While retaining the ease of tying of the round braid, the fine braiding makes the knot smaller and neater, giving a refreshing overall impression. It can be used widely from single-layered kimonos to mid-summer wear, and throughout the year. ● About the product Made by Ryukobo 100% silk, made in Japan Size: Width approx. 0.6cm x Length approx. 150cm ● Other ・This is a new, unused item.
