Accessories for changing the design of the obi

Abstract

This is a small item for changing the design of the obi. It is desirable to change the design of the obi each time depending on the kimono. Also, even if the kimono is the same, changing the obi can give a completely different impression. However, obi are generally expensive, and it is often not possible to purchase many obi. With this item, the design of the front part of the body, that is, the front part where the obi is visible, can be easily changed. As shown in the reference drawing, the obi is passed through this item, and the obi is passed through to the position that corresponds to the center of the body when the obi is fastened, and after the position is determined, the obi is fastened. Since it has such a simple structure and can be easily attached to the obi, it is easy to use and makes it possible to easily change the obi pattern. Also, since it uses a small amount of fabric, it is inexpensive and you can prepare as many as you want and enjoy changing them. In the drawing, the side with the mesh represents the front, and by using fabric of any color and pattern for the front, the design of the obi can be easily changed. In the production of this item, two pieces of cloth are stitched together with the front sides facing each other at both long ends, and the short ends are also stitched to make a tube shape. Reference photos 1-4 show the state of use of this item attached to an obi and worn with an obi of a different design. Photos 2-4 show the item attached to a half-width obi, heko obi, and Nagoya obi, respectively, but this item can be attached to any type of obi.
