A haori himo is a decorative cord, chain, or string that holds the kimono’s haori (jacket) closed and in position. There is a string tie type, a type of glass ball passed through a braided cord, and recently a magnetic type. They attach to the haori via loops at on the jacket’s collar using small clasps or hooks.
