#obijime

[tanuki-kimono]

Whimsical modern kimono styling, using a treble knotted obijime as fun decoration.

Men kimono don't usually require obijime which are in fact used in women kimono fashion (they help to hold the obi knot tied).

For Sale: Wide Obijime

Lots of wide obijime being listed on Dec. 1st!

I kind of. Didn't pay attention. Renewed a bunch of stuff a day early and accidentally $25 in fees to ebay. ::dies:: that could have been pizza. Or cat food. Eris is not cheap.

This is Eris the Destroyer, by the way. A psych med and a sedative daily, and still a royal brat when she isn't possessively smuckling on me like she's a baby.

In her mind, she is forever that abandoned little 6 week old kitten.

She is 7 years old.

New items arrived!

The box says "kuro no irodori" 'black hues'. Plant-dyed in Saga.

"For summer use" - don't tell me what to do, lol.

A black silk obiage and obijime. The obiage is made of tango crepe silk pongee fabric with cool touch and the obijime is hand-woven.

I got these for a mere €20 from Vinted, which is a pretty good price.

These are items of a traditional summer mourning ensemble, usually worn with crested plain black or dull coloured kimono and black obi, however, modern dressing allows for thinking outside the box, so let's see what I can use them for.

I wove this obijime with the heddle my older sibling gave me for my birthday a few months ago.  The green is a wool/silk blend, and the black is cotton.

I don't usually share these small aspects of my life but my great-grandma's obijime is too pretty to be sitting away in my closet.

I'm a lover of personal family items, I always like to imagine what kind of journey it has been on before it got to me.
