Why I love Kimono - Reason 6

They say variety is the spice of life and kimono is always full of variety.

Whether it is the designs available or the way you style your outfit, there is so many things you can do with kimono and this is especially true for the obi!

Of course these ones are for special occasions like the Coming of Age ceremony where the flashier the musubi the better!

But even the humble otaiko musubi has variations as well.

This is the standard version which I normally tie when I am casually wearing kimono with my friends.

However this is not the only way to tie a otaiko musubi.

Here are a couple of more ways to tie it.

This one is actually very cute and I must try this one day!

So as you can see, this is another reason to why I love kimono!
