Flat
The flat type obijime or Obihimo is a type of sash used in traditional Japanese attire. Typically wide and with a flat shape, it enhances the design and tying of the obi. It is used to secure the obi, and unless otherwise specified on our site, we sell silk obijime.
Material: It is typically made from soft materials such as silk or cotton or polyester. Its soft texture provides comfort when tying the obi.
Design: Flat obijime comes in various designs. They range from plain or woven patterns to those adorned with elaborate embroidery or decorations. Colors and patterns can be chosen according to the season or occasion.
Usage : Flat obijime is used to securely tie the obi around the waist. Its wide width provides ample support for the obi, preventing it from slipping. To use, wrap the flat obijime around the obi and tie it securely around the waist.
Care: It is relatively easy to care for. Some can be machine-washed, but those with delicate decorations may require hand washing. When storing, it’s important to lay it flat to maintain its shape.
Flat obijime plays a significant role in coordinating a kimono outfit. Choosing the appropriate design and using it correctly can enhance the overall elegance of the kimono ensemble.
