Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Kimono obis are very expensive, but for people wearing kimono, the only elements that allow them to express their individuality are the color and pattern of the obi. Therefore, by installing an electronic display device that enables easy self-expression, a modern-style obi can be provided.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0005] The present invention solves the above problem by providing a kimono-wearing obi, wherein an electronic display device is mounted on the surface of the obi, and the electronic display device is communicatively connected to a mobile terminal, and can display characters and patterns input by a user on the mobile terminal.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] By mounting the electronic display device on the surface of the kimono-wearing obi, the user's thoughts can be conveyed to others simply by wearing the obi, which enhances the expressive power. In addition, since the displayed characters and patterns can be adjusted according to the user's will, it is possible to express individuality in a manner suited to the place and environment.

[Figure 3] Rear view of the electronic display device [Figure 4] Front view showing the strip with an electronic display board and pouch attached. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] In a kimono sash, an electronic display device is attached to the surface of the sash using mounting components. This electronic display device is connected to a mobile terminal via communication and displays characters and images entered by the user on the mobile terminal. [Examples]

[0009] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is an overall view of a kimono 1 wearing a obi 2. The kimono 1 may be a yukata, and the obi may be any commercially available obi, such as the most formal fukuro obi, the everyday Nagoya obi, or the hanhaba obi that can be worn with a yukata or everyday clothes.

[0010] Figures 1 and 2 are frontal views of the outer surface of a human body when wearing a kimono, with an electronic display device 3 attached to the so-called surface opposite the side of the obi 2 that is attached to the human body.

[0011] Figure 3 is a plan view of the back side of the electronic display device 3, the side that will be attached to the belt. In this embodiment, hook-and-loop fasteners are used as attachment members 4 for attaching the electronic display device 3 to the belt 2. These hook-and-loop fasteners are attached to the upper edge of the back side of the electronic display device 3 at equal intervals in four places. Hook-and-loop fasteners are also attached to the corresponding positions on the surface of the belt 2, and the hook-and-loop fasteners are pressed together to engage. This attachment can also be done by simple sewing or the like; the important thing is that the belt and the electronic display device can be easily attached. The attachment members 4 may also be attached to the four corners of the electronic display device. Alternatively, as an attachment member, hooks (not shown) may be fixed in four places on the back side of the electronic display device, and these hooks may be hooked onto the belt for attachment. A cloth waist belt that can be attached and detached with a zipper or the like may also be used.

[0012] Figure 4 is a front view of the outer surface of a human body when wearing a kimono, with an electronic display device 3 and a pouch 5 for housing a battery for the electronic display device (not shown) attached to the obi 2. Cable 6 electrically connects the electronic display device 3 and the battery.

[0013] The back of pouch 5 is made of heat-resistant and fire-resistant material, designed to minimize the impact on the human body in the event of battery ignition. Pouch 5 is attached to belt 2 using hook-and-loop fasteners or simple stitching, similar to the electronic display device, and is designed to be easily detached from the belt in the event of ignition or other incidents.

[0014] The electronic display device 3 is composed of LED bulbs and can display characters and images entered on a mobile device. By downloading an application to display characters and images on the electronic display device 3, connecting to the electronic display device via Bluetooth or other communication means on a smartphone, entering characters and images on the smartphone screen, and sending them to the electronic display board, the entered characters and images can be displayed on the electronic display device.
