Vtg Japanese Obijime Kimono Belt Accessory
This is a Japanese vintage obijime. A solid green, this narrow and round (marugumi) style traditionally braided kumihimo cord is flexible and easy to tie. It has a smooth weave texture with no added designs. The ends, instead of the typical tassels, are two wooden beads covered in a braided mesh.
An obijime is a braided cord that wraps around the outside of the obi sash to keep it in shape. Because there are limitless colors, materials, and styles, they are often used as a decorative accent for kimonos in addition to their main function. Obijime is only used for women's kimonos, not men's kimonos.
