very common way of tying a woman’s kimono sash(otaikomusubi)
One of the ways to tie a woman’s obi. The square area on the back is the “o-daiko,” which is called “niju-daiko” because there are two layers of fabric at the o-daiko when tied with a round or double-breasted obi, and “ippu-daiko” because there is only one layer of fabric with a Nagoya obi. This is the most popular way of tying the obi, and can be done regardless of age, marital status, or marital status. The origin of the name “o-taiko” dates back to the Edo period. It is said that when the Kameido Tenjin drum bridge was rebuilt, the obi tied by geisha looked like a “taiko bridge,” hence the name.
