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)
