This elegant vintage obijime is crafted in the traditional hiragumi (flat braid) style, known for its smooth texture and refined appearance. Woven in a striking combination of vibrant vermilion orange and soft white, the cord features subtle interwoven accents that add depth and visual interest while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic.
The color combination of this obijime carries a rich and auspicious meaning in Japanese tradition. The vivid vermilion tone, often seen in shrine architecture and ceremonial objects, has long been associated with protection and the ability to ward off negative influences.
The flat braid construction ensures a comfortable and secure hold when worn with kimono, making it both functional and decorative. Presented in its original kiri-style storage box, this piece reflects the care and cultural value traditionally associated with kimono accessories.
Obijime such as this are essential elements of a kimono ensemble, used to secure the obi while adding a refined accent of color and texture.
