GREAT novelty knot for this obi shaped like a cute bat. The soft fabric must flutter a bit when you walk, making the bat wings move (LOVE!).

To shape this knot, OP used rubber bands and a sanjûihimo (3 straps elastic belt, Billy Matsunaga has a tutorial on sewing the 4 straps-variation + see how it’s used here).

First attempt at tying リボンむすび (ribbon musubi). It's not perfect, but not a total disaster! I used Billy Matsunaga's YouTube tutorial.

Considering that two days ago I had only the kimono and nagajuban, and I made the obi, obiage, and all the assorted ties and accessories in a mad overnight scramble, I think it came out pretty well! 😅

Butterfly and Wisteria. This hair ornament has five branches of silk wisteria flowers which create an elegant flow of cascading violet gradient petals. Each of the 97 petals is hand-painted using habutae silk, folded, and "pinched" in traditional tsumami method.

Felt like playing with kimono today, so I threw together a quick floordinate! The obi was a lucky find at a local secondhand kimono seller, but the condition is bad enough that it’s not wearable for formal occasions. Still makes for nice wearing around the house!

Classy and Creepy

Happy Halloween! An appropriate day to raise myself from the dead, I think. I've just been incredibly busy, travelling and working and whatnot, but I do have some stuff in the works for the next little while. I knew I had to get this one up today, though. The "obi" is too perfect for a classy and creepy outfit. Funny thing is, it's not an obi at all. It's two table runners from Target! One wrapped twice around the body, and one for the musubi. I wanted to keep the rest of the outfit subtle but still halloween-y so my bat menuki obidome and spiderweb haneri, and then remembered I had this lovely piece of soft spiderweb mesh I found in a remnant bin at the fabric store. It makes the perfect shawl, doesn't it? I love how this outfit feels seasonal and creepy but totally wearable, and I also love how the two star pieces are both found items that have nothing to do with kimono. The orange accessories were the finishing touch, and they add just the right amount of pop. Read the full article

Edo period women obi knots, fantastic reference chart by Edo lover Nadeshico Rin.

You can see here several obi musubi favored by city women, of all class and status. Novelty knots were a fashion statement, often lauched by star onnagata kabuki actors, and spread by iki fashionistas such as geisha.

For top to bottom, left to right, you can see here:

Chidori musubi (plover knot) ちどり結び

Shôryû musubi (little dragon knot) 小龍結び

Kichiya musubi (Kichiya knot) 吉弥 結び - named after onnagata actor Uemura Kichiya I in Genroku period, who single handedly launched a new type of knots and obi fashion

Originally this was going to be a post about the challenges of finding the right kind of orthotic soles that could be converted to zouri to save my feet at the con, but I went to take the photo and got distracted by sparkly bunnies, so now it's just a picture of the adorable tabi I found in Hakone, Japan. (They match my kimono, too!)

Dressed up to meet with friends at the Japan Expo at Pavilion Bukit Jalil! It was a mad rush to do my hair, slap on some make up and wear my yukata after church this morning, but I got it all done in half an hour!

For me, the key highlight of today’s stage performance was Hanazono Naomichi - no regrets rushing through everything to get there in time to watch his performance!

Just a few of my other plushies that I have made and put up on my Etsy. I have a few more things I'm working on like a bat and probably going to make a mushroom man as well. The spider and kitsune are both about 16 inches at the longest points and i love being able to just squeeze them!

What other types of plushies should I make?
