■Discription Shibori dyeing obiage and obijime and for kimono. Obiage is one of the traditional Japanese accessories used in the dressing of a kimono. It is a long, narrow piece of fabric used to secure the obimakura, a pad that gives shape to the obi knot and is secured around the body. Obijime is a necessary accessory for the dressing of a woman's kimono, serving as a cord used to secure the obi in place. Shibori dyeing is a general term for a dyeing technique where a portion of the fabric is tied with thread, sewn tightly, or compressed with boards, preventing the dye from reaching that area and creating patterns. Commonly observed in Japanese kimonos and accessories, the resulting fabric often exhibits a texture known as "shibo," which manifests as a wave-like or granular irregularity on the dyed surface. ■Notice The product will be carefully packaged and shipped via DHL or FedEx depending on the situation.
