Vtg Japanese Obijime Kimono Belt Accessory
This is a Japanese vintage obijime. A light baby pink gradient to white, this narrow and flat (hiragumi) style traditionally braided kumihimo cord is flexible and easy to tie. It is a smooth texture weave on the back side with a heavily-textured criss-cross pattern on the front side that was a very subtle silver accent.
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.
