There are various ways of tying a kimono’s obi. From the Meiji period (1868–1912) through the present, the most popular has been the taiko musubi (drum knot), held in place by a braided silk cord (obijime). Obidome, often made with gemstones or intricately worked precious metals, are worn on this cord as a brooch-like accent.
