These exquisite braided or woven 100% silk cords serve as the final touch, elegantly adorning wider obis atop the layered Kimono ensemble. They seamlessly complete the traditional attire while also adding a sophisticated touch as a corded belt for modern-day fashion ensembles.
This herringbone weave is a highly prized design in traditional kimono styling, and is classified, even without gold or silver accents, as a higher formality obijime, making it appropriate for even hōmongi kimono.
