There are two types of obi ties for kimono: the round core type and the flat core type.
1. Round Core Type:
This type of obi tie has a round core in the center, allowing for smooth curves when wrapping the obi and resulting in a beautiful knot for the kimono. The core is typically made of a soft material.
2. Flat Core Type:
The flat core type features a flat core, usually made of a rigid material. It provides more stability and security for the obi knot, ensuring the obi stays in place securely. Additionally, it has anti-slip properties.
These differences allow for the selection of the appropriate obi tie based on the kimono’s attire and dressing style.
