Caring for Your Obi Clip

Each obi clip is hand-painted by skilled artisans, making every piece unique. To keep it in perfect condition, please follow these care instructions:

🔹 Avoid strong friction, polishing agents, or solvents, as they may cause the colors to fade.
🔹 Keep it away from high humidity and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or deformation.
🔹 Do not leave it wet or dirty for extended periods, as this may cause rust or mold.
🔹 Gently wipe it with a soft cloth after use to maintain its beauty.

With proper care, your obi clip will remain a cherished part of your kimono collection for years to come.

How to Use an Obi Clip

An obi clip (obidome) is a beautiful and stylish accent for kimono coordination. It is attached to a sanbu-himo, a thin obi cord designed for decorative purposes.

1️⃣ Thread the obi clip onto the sanbu-himo before tying it around your waist.
2️⃣ Tie the sanbu-himo at the back, then rotate it so that the knot is hidden inside your obi.
3️⃣ Adjust the obi clip’s position to your liking, and enjoy your unique kimono coordination!

Perfect for:
✔ Matching with a yukata, Nagoya obi, or other casual kimono styles
