The Kai no Kuchi Musubi (shell mouth knot) is a way of tying an obi in which the obi is folded in half, wrapped around the body and tied, and then the ends of the hands and the hanging ends are joined together to form the shape of the mouth of a shell.
his is a common way of tying a men's hakama sash, and is unisex.
The corners of the knot of the obi come together to form a shape resembling the mouth of a clam.
It will look more stylish if you tie the knot slightly to the left or right instead of in the middle.
Tie the obi just below your belly button, and tighten it so that it is slightly lower in the front and higher in the back for stability.
It emphasizes practicality over flashiness and is characterized by its ability to create a calm kimono look.
People who still wear kimonos in their daily lives today probably tie them in this way.
Well, see you next time.
