Today's kitsuke was a lesson in problem solving! I ordered a
heko obi for this yukata, and the dimensions were listed incorrectly. Instead
of the adult size that was listed, I received a child's size... It was a good
buy so I figured it was not worth returning. At first I thought I might just
use it as a puchi-heko obi or even for fabric, but then I decided to see if I
could find a way to tie it. One of my favorite books (ファブリック帯の本) has many ways
to tie heko obi, including using long scarves, so I modeled it after those
musubi. I also used a hanhaba obi tying tool (kind of like biyosugata but for
hanhaba) to help provide support. I hope you like it!
