explanation: Curiously, "obi" is a kimono's component who developed lately. Initially people wore kimono with a narrow string, revolved once and attached before. The modern "obi" appeared during Muromachi period with "kosode" (small sleeve), i.e. the actual form of kimono. During Edo period, obi has become a decorative element for women, revolved several times with a huge not behind, while men's obi evolved little. Nowadays, the most of obi is made at Nishijin in Kyoto.
