Step by step: Katabasami musubi, seen on (top picture by) + Rônin musubi (see below)

This belt knot was used by men during Edo period (because of its simple shape it probably appeared far before before that). It was especially linked to samurai class.

I have seen this knot called “rônin musubi”. It’s true rônin themselves used it but, it seems they added a little variation marking their status:

It is an easy yet solid way of tying an obi. OP stresses it’s a perfect knot if you have to sit western style (chair, train, car etc.) as it will not lose its shape or unravel ;)

I have just discovered close variations worn by women, I’ll have to try!

Is anyone getting tired of them being compared to each other all the time?

[austenlandmoviefans]

I get it but it does get old, especially since I knew JJ (Northanger Abbey) before I knew who Tom was. 

[austenlandmoviefans]

This maybe my favorite Austenland gif ever.

And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.
