Obi

Kimono obi are made of silk or cotton and are around 4 meters long. They are wrapped around the waist when wearing a kimono to prevent the kimono from slipping or coming undone. There are many different ways to tie obi and designs, and they can be formal or casual, and vary depending on the season and location. There are also many patterns and designs, including flowers, plants, landscapes, animals, and patterns. The obi is chosen with consideration for how it will match and balance with the kimono, and expresses individual style and taste. The obi, a symbol of traditional beauty, is a part of kimono culture and an important element that makes it attractive to many people.
