Obijime can be worn traditionally or as a contemporary fashion accessory.

This obijime is a subtle combination of pink and white - one color on each side - in a simple, flat weave. But there is a bit of silver sparkle on both sides and in the tassels - but just a bit.

Obijime are the finishing touch to the traditional obi sash, tied on top of the obi with a decorative knot at the front. The obijime color and design should complement the ensemble rather than match the color. See the video below for examples of how to tie the obijime with an obi.

Other contemporary uses of the obijime are as a cord belt with jeans or dress or modified into fashion accessories such as hair bands, purse straps, lanyards, glasses holders, jewelry, and more! See the video below on wearing an obijime as a casual belt, necklace, or bracelet.
