This listing is for a pair of haori himo ties as shown. This himo pair is a deep magenta color with little black circles dotted along the way. It is a bit wider than more contemporary himo, so it is possibly from the 1950s or earlier.

We pre-tie each pair and have attach lobster clasps to make attaching them to the haori loops easy-peasy-Japaneasy. The knot can be easily untied if you would like to knot it a different way.

Haori himo are the braided or woven cords that tie together at the front of a traditional haori jacket. They are hooked into the little loops on either side of the front collar that every haori has. They are typically six to seven inches long and about half an inch wide, but the variety of designs is quite amazing.

Haori himo have many uses even if you don't have a haori jacket: bookmarks, zipper pulls, key chains, and more! See video below for more ideas.

Haori himo - sometimes referred to as kumihimo - are created on a special loom with a macrame or braiding technique - see the video below on how this is done.
