Obijime

Twice a year, Kyoto Arts and Antiques comes to Seattle with a warehouse full of goodies. I can't resist and have bought at least 10 beautiful vintage kimonos. This time, they had a huge box full of objime ropes for tying around an obi and kimono. I only bought 7 for $3 and am seriously considering going back again this week to buy more. I'm not really sure what I can do with these, but they are so pretty!
