Q. What is an obijime? Obi vs Obijime?
Obijime is a special cord that is basic for wearing kimono in most contemporary styles. They are decorative and also hold obi knots or musubi in place. Standard obijime length can vary from 155-168cm (61-66 inches). I like to make them longer so they are easier for the wearer to work with, so I sometimes make them 200cm long.
Many would say obi and obijime absolutely go together: You can't have one without the other. As far as I know, there isn't really obijime for men or men's obijime. That might be an interesting concept to experiment with.
As they are, I think obijime would make wonderful cord or fabric belts for jeans, trousers and robes. You can think of it as an obijime rope.
Q. How to store obijime?
A. As many obijime are made of silk, it is recommended to store them with moth deterrents in a cool, dry place when they are not in use.
Q. Obijime in Japanese? Obijime Japanese? Obijime Kanji? Obijime pronunciation?
A. In Japanese, obijime is written as: 帯締め, which translates to something like, "Obi tying belt."
It is said as "oh-bee-jee-meh".
