Kimono Accessory Set

• OBI ITA-the stiff belt inserted between the obi and kimono to keep both from getting wrinkled. It has a handy strap with metal fasteners to tie it with.
• OBI MAKURA-makura means pillow in japanese, and this obi pillow is inserted into the obi as you're tying it to help give it shape and form. It comes with light gauze ties. A simple but incredibly useful accessory.
• KORIN BELT-elastic with plastic clips on both ends, it holds your kimono in place when you're wearing it. 21.5" long, expands to about 40". Yours may be a different color than the one pictured.
• KOSHI HIMO-Koshi means waist in japanese, and himo is string or belt. Koshi himo is the first belt tied around your kimono to hold it in place after you've gathered it at the waist to adjust the length to adjust the length. The excess fabric falls over it. You'll get THREE of them. It's a shame that they, like the rest of the set aren't visible when worn, because these 100% silk himo are a pleasure to touch and behold, tie dyed in the traditional way using the shibori technique, that produces a wonderful puckered texture, as well as vibrant hues. A generous 86" long.
