How To wear the Yukata

The Flow of Wearing The Female Yukata

17. Cho-Musubi

Movie

This is a Cho-Musubi, a butterfly bow tie.
Fold the Obi into folds like in an accordion, and then tie it in a knot like in the Bunko. (Image)
You can arrange the length of the folds as you like. Make a crease in the middle and two plaits on each side.
Bring the Te up over the Tare and wrap it once sliding it through the back of the knot.
With the remaining Te, wrap over the knot again and pull the end down through between the Obi and the Date-jime.
Adjust the four folds in the bow.
Slide the Obi clockwise until the bow is at the center of your back.
Fold and tuck in the extra Te-saki behind the Obi. (Image)
