Originating as a simple thin belt in <a href="/wiki/Heian_period" title="Heian period">Heian period</a> <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a>, the obi developed over time into a belt with a number of different varieties, with a number of different sizes and proportions, lengths, and methods of tying. The obi, which once did not differ significantly in appearance between men and women, also developed into a greater variety of styles for women than for men. Despite the kimono having been at one point and continuing to appear to be held shut by the obi, many modern obi are too wide and stiff to function in this way, with a series of ties known as koshihimo, worn underneath the obi, used to keep the kimono closed instead. Obi are categorised by their design, formality, material, and use, and can be made of a number of types of fabric, with heavy <a href="/wiki/Brocade" title="Brocade">brocade</a> weaves worn for formal occasions, and some lightweight <a href="/wiki/Silk" title="Silk">silk</a> obi worn for informal occasions. Obi are also made from materials other than silk, such as <a href="/wiki/Cotton" title="Cotton">cotton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hemp" title="Hemp">hemp</a> and <a href="/wiki/Polyester" title="Polyester">polyester</a>, though silk obi are considered a necessity for formal occasions. In the modern day, pre-tied obi, known as tsuke or tsukiri obi, are also worn, and do not appear any different to a regular obi when worn. Though obi can be <a href="/wiki/Kimono#Cost" title="Kimono">inexpensive</a> when bought second-hand, they typically cost more than a kimono, particularly when purchased brand-new. A number of specialist fabrics used particularly to make obi are highly prized for their craftsmanship and reputation of quality, such as <a href="/wiki/Nishijin-ori" title="Nishijin-ori">nishijin-ori</a>, produced in the <a href="/wiki/Nishijin" title="Nishijin">Nishijin</a> district of <a href="/wiki/Kyoto" title="Kyoto">Kyoto</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hakata-ori" title="Hakata-ori">hakata-ori</a> produced in <a href="/wiki/Fukuoka_prefecture" class="mw-redirect" title="Fukuoka prefecture">Fukuoka prefecture</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Heian_period_to_Edo_period">Heian period to Edo period</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Heian period to Edo period">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GeishaObi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/GeishaObi.jpg/220px-GeishaObi.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="282" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/GeishaObi.jpg/330px-GeishaObi.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/GeishaObi.jpg/440px-GeishaObi.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1188" data-file-height="1524" /></a><figcaption>A Japanese woman tying the obi of a <a href="/wiki/Geisha" title="Geisha">geisha</a> in the 1890s.</figcaption></figure> In its early days, the obi was a cord or ribbon-like sash, approximately 8 centimetres (3.1 in) in width. Men's and women's obi were similar. At the beginning of the 17th century, both women and men wore a thin, ribbon-like obi. By the 1680s, the width of women's obi had already doubled from its original size. In the 1730s women's obi were about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) wide, and at the turn of the 19th century were as wide as 30 centimetres (12 in). At that time, separate ties and cords were necessary to hold the obi in place. Men's obi were widest in the 1730s, at about 16 centimetres (6.3 in).<a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_47–55-1">[1]</a> Before the <a href="/wiki/Edo_period" title="Edo period">Edo period</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kosode" title="Kosode">kosode</a> robes were fastened with a narrow sash at the hips.<a href="#cite_note-japaninkulttuuri-2">[2]</a> The mode of attaching the sleeve widely to the torso part of the garment would have prevented the use of wider obi. When the sleeves of the kosode began to grow in both horizontal width and vertical length at the beginning of the Edo period, the obi widened as well. There were two reasons for this: firstly, to maintain the aesthetic balance of the outfit, the longer sleeves needed a wider sash to accompany them; secondly, unlike today (where they are customary only for unmarried women) married women also wore long-sleeved kimono in the 1770s. The use of long sleeves without leaving the underarm open would have hindered movements greatly. These underarm openings in turn made room for even wider obi.<a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_47–55-1">[1]</a> Originally, all obi were tied in the front. Later, fashion began to affect the position of the knot, and obi could be tied to the side or to the back. As obi grew wider the knots grew bigger, and it became cumbersome to tie the obi in the front. By the end of the 17th century obi were mostly tied in the back. However, the custom did not become firmly established before the beginning of the 20th century.<a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_47–55-1">[1]</a> At the end of the 18th century, it was fashionable for a woman's kosode to have overly long hems that were allowed to trail behind when in house. For moving outside, the excess cloth was tied up beneath the obi with a wide cloth ribbon called shigoki obi. Contemporary women's kimono are made similarly over-long, but the hems are not allowed to trail; the excess cloth is tied up to hips, forming a fold called the ohashori. Shigoki obi are still used, but only as a decorative accessory.<a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_47–55-1">[1]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modern_day">Modern day</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Modern day">edit</a>]</div> The most formal women's obi, the maru obi, is technically obsolete, worn only by some brides, with a modified, longer version - the darari obi (lit., "dangling obi") - worn by <a href="/wiki/Maiko" title="Maiko">maiko</a>, in the present day. The lighter fukuro obi has taken the place of maru obi. The originally-everyday nagoya obi is the most common obi used today, and fancy nagoya obi may even be accepted as a part of a semi-ceremonial outfit. The use of fancy, decorative obi knots has also narrowed, though mainly through the drop in the numbers of women wearing kimono on a regular basis, with most women tying their obi in the taiko musubi (lit., "drum knot") style.<a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_210-3">[3]</a> Tsuke obi, also known as tsukiri obi, have gained popularity as pre-tied belts accessible to those with mobility issues or a lack of knowledge on how to wear obi.

A woman's formal obi can be 30 centimetres (12 in) wide and more than 4 metres (13 ft) long, with the longest variety – the darari obi, nearing 6 metres (20 ft) in length – worn only by maiko in some regions of Japan. Some women's obi are folded in two width-wise when worn, to a width of about 15 centimetres (5.9 in) to 20 centimetres (7.9 in); the full width of the obi is present only in the knot at the back of the kimono, with the band around the middle appearing to be half-width when worn. There are a number of different ways to tie an obi, and different knots are suited to different occasions and different kimono. The obi itself often requires the use of stiffeners and cords for definition of shape and decoration, and some knots, such as the taiko musubi, require additional accessories in order to keep their shape. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Women's_obi_types">Women's obi types</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Women's obi types">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nagoya_obi.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Nagoya_obi.JPG/220px-Nagoya_obi.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="184" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Nagoya_obi.JPG 1.5x" data-file-width="320" data-file-height="267" /></a><figcaption>The nagoya obi, the most common variety of women's obi</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tsuke_021008.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Tsuke_021008.png/220px-Tsuke_021008.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Tsuke_021008.png/330px-Tsuke_021008.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Tsuke_021008.png/440px-Tsuke_021008.png 2x" data-file-width="1496" data-file-height="1080" /></a><figcaption>Tsuke obi are much shorter than the other types of obi.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yukataobi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Yukataobi.jpg/220px-Yukataobi.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="212" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Yukataobi.jpg/330px-Yukataobi.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Yukataobi.jpg 2x" data-file-width="402" data-file-height="387" /></a><figcaption>The separate bow part of a tsuke obi is attached using a wire hook.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:HanaYukataInari.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/HanaYukataInari.jpg/220px-HanaYukataInari.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/HanaYukataInari.jpg/330px-HanaYukataInari.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/HanaYukataInari.jpg/440px-HanaYukataInari.jpg 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>Girl wearing a yukata.

The tsuke obi is fastened in place by ribbons attached to each piece.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Tsuke obi are most commonly informal styles of obi, though more formal pre-tied obi do exist, as they are indistinguishable from a regular obi when worn.<a href="#cite_note-kimonoplace-22">[22]</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Accessories_for_women's_obi">Accessories for women's obi</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Accessories for women's obi">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>Obiage (帯揚げ, "obi <a href="/wiki/Bustle" title="Bustle">bustle</a>")<a href="#cite_note-dict13-25">[25]</a> is a scarf-like length of cloth worn above the obi.

The obi is sometimes known simply as sanjaku (三尺). During the Edo period, it gained popularity as a simple and easy-to-wear obi paired with casual, everyday kimono. According to some theories, the sanjaku obi originates from a scarf of the same length, which was folded and used as a sash. A sanjaku obi typically is shaped like a kaku obi, narrow and with short stitches. It is usually made from soft cotton-like cloth.

Though obi functioned to hold the kimono closed for many centuries, beginning in the Edo period, the obi became too wide and/or too stiff to function effectively in this manner. In the modern day, a number of ties and accessories are used to keep the kimono in place, with the obi functioning in a more decorative capacity. Though most styles of obi musubi can be tied by oneself, some varieties of formal women's obi can be difficult to tie successfully without the assistance of others. There are hundreds of decorative knots,<a href="#cite_note-yoshino-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-kimonoplace-22">[22]</a> particularly for women, often named for their resemblance to flowers, animals and birds. Obi knots follow the same rough conventions of style and suitability as kimono do, with the more complex and fanciful knots reserved for younger women on festive occasions, and knots with a plainer appearance being mostly worn by older women; however, some knots, such as the taiko musubi, have become the standard knot for women of all ages, excluding young girls. In earlier days, the knots were believed to banish malicious spirits.<a href="#cite_note-yoshino-13">[13]</a> Many knots have a name with an auspicious double meaning.<a href="#cite_note-yoshino-13">[13]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Types_of_knots">Types of knots</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Obi_(sash)&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Types of knots">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>Asagao musubi (朝顔結び/あさがおむすび, "morning glory knot") is a knot resembling the <a href="/wiki/Ipomoea_nil" title="Ipomoea nil">Japanese morning glory</a>, suitable to be worn with yukata.

Most pre-tied hanhaba obi are tied with this knot.</li> <li>Darari musubi (だらりむすび, "dangling knot") is a knot worn only by maiko, dancers and kabuki actors. It is easily distinguishable by its long "tails" hanging in the back, which require an obi of up to 6 metres (20 ft) in length to achieve. In the past, courtesans<a href="#cite_note-yoshino-13">[13]</a> and daughters of rich merchants would also have their obi tied in this manner. A half-length version of this knot, known as the handara musubi (lit., "half-dangling knot"), also exists, with apprentice geisha in some regions of Japan wearing this at various stages throughout their apprenticeship. The darari musubi is worn specifically by maiko in <a href="/wiki/Gion" title="Gion">Gion</a> to perform the gion kouta, a well-known <a href="/wiki/Kouta_(music)" title="Kouta (music)">short song</a> performed at geisha parties whose lyrics - "dear lovely Gion, the dangling obi" - explicitly mention it, referring to the classical image of Gion's maiko.</li> <li>Fukura-suzume musubi (ふくら雀結び, "puffed sparrow knot") is a decorative knot that resembles a sparrow with its wings spread, and is generally worn only by young women. It is suitable for formal occasions and is typically only worn with a furisode. Traditionally, the fukura-suzume musubi worn with a furisode indicated a woman was available for marriage.</li> <li>Kai-no-kuchi musubi (貝の口むすび, "clam's mouth knot") is a subdued obi which is commonly worn by men, and sometimes worn by older women for convenience, or by women in general as a style choice.</li> <li>Koma musubi (駒結び, "foal knot") is a square knot often used for tying haori and obijime. The short sanjaku obi worn by children is also tied in this way.</li> <li>Taiko musubi (太鼓結び, "<a href="/wiki/Taiko" title="Taiko">drum</a> knot") is the most commonly-worn knot worn by women in the present day. It is a knot with a simple, subdued appearance, and resembles a box with a short tail underneath. The taiko musubi is suitable for women of almost every age, mostly every kind of kimono, and is suitable for mostly all occasions; only furisode and mostly all yukata are considered unsuitable to be worn with the taiko musubi. Though the knot is associated with the taiko drum, the knot was actually created to celebrate the opening of the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Taikobashi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Taikobashi (page does not exist)">Taikobashi</a> bridge in <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a> in 1823 by some geisha, a style which soon widely caught on.<a href="#cite_note-yoshino-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-dalby_obi_geishaandkimono-36">[36]</a></li> <li>Nijūdaiko musubi (二重太鼓結び, "two-layer drum knot") is a version of the taiko musubi, tied with the formal fukuro obi. Fukuro obi are longer than the nagoya obi, so the obi must be folded in two when tying the knot.<a href="#cite_note-types-14">[14]</a> The knot has an auspicious double meaning of "double joy".<a href="#cite_note-yamanaka/theObi-37">[37]</a></li> <li>Tateya musubi (立て矢むすび, "standing arrow knot")<a href="#cite_note-yamanaka/intro-38">[38]</a> is a knot resembling a large bow, and is one of the most simple knots worn with the furisode. According to kitsuke (kimono dressing) teacher Norio Yamanaka, it is the most suitable knot to be used with the honburisode - a furisode with full-length sleeves.<a href="#cite_note-yamanaka/intro-38">[38]</a></li> <li>Washikusa musubi (鷲草結び, "eagle plant knot") is a bow resembling a certain plant thought to look like an eagle taking flight.<a
