SUMMER OTAIKO OBI

Summer obi is an obi used for single clothes and light kimono from June to September. Transparent materials such as silk, gauze, and rag, cool materials such as hemp and lace, and single-striped sashes such as Tsureori and Hakataori are also summer sashes.

For summer formal attire, a summer obi made of silk or gauze is used. During the single-clothing season and mid-summer, it is important to choose an obi that takes into account the TPO and class of the kimono, as well as the thinness and transparency of the material.
