Kimono Know-How: Furisode Musubi, pg 44-45 from Furisode Daisuki! 2006 - 2007

Following last week's post on three-section himo with elastic bands, today's post is on two of the pages in Furisode Daisuki! 2006 - 2007 that features obi musubi for furisode using them. (Pages 44 to 45, to be exact)

These pages are featuring variations of the popular tateya musubi. My favourite musubi is the one on the top left, with the orange furisode and teal obi!

Kimono Know-How: Fancy Obijime Ties from Furisode Daisuki! 2006 - 2007

Following Saturday's kimono know-how post, I figured it'd be nice to match the fancy obiage knots with some fancy obijime knots.

So here is the page from the same magazine on tying obijime for furisode.

Just thought I'd share a picture of one of my older furisode magazines on how to tie your obiage in nice fancy ways.

Snotty reading magazine

I was digging through some old photos and found this cute one!



It's my sister's Me-to-You bear reading a JJ magazine on the yukata page!! ^_^ This was when my sister had just graduated from London School of Economics and we were on holiday in London.

Back then, I hadn't actually owned any proper yukata, aside from the two we got from Naoi-san and one expensive one that my mum bought for me when we went to Japan 6 months prior to this picture. Even then, my kimono obsession was starting to shine through, and I was always salivating over all the yukata pages in all of my sister's magazines!! ^^;;; I'd even cut out those pages to save them when my sister decided to recycle those magazines haha. They're still here with me in London... :P

Just thought I'd share the cuteness of Snotty ^__^ (Snotty is the bear's name. The story is a long one that you don't want to know. Really.)
