Shibori (しぼり/絞り, from the verb root shiboru – "to wring, squeeze or press"[1]: 7 ) is a Japanese manual tie-dyeing technique, which produces a number of different patterns on fabric.
The kimono (きもの/着物, 'thing to wear' – from the verb "to wear (on the shoulders)" (着る, kiru), and the noun "thing" (物, mono) is a traditional Japanese garment and the national dress of Japan.
The traditional art of dressing in Kimono is known as Kitsuke (着付け). Kitsuke is a highly structured artform, which takes patience and discipline to learn properly. When it comes to the obi belt, there are many beautiful and elaborate ways to tie it. An obi (帯) is a belt of varying size and shape worn with a Kimono. Originating as a simple thin belt in Heian period Japan, the obi developed over time into a belt with a number of different varieties, with a number of different sizes and proportions, lengths, and methods of tying. The obi, which once did not differ significantly in appearance between men and women, also developed into a greater variety of styles for women than for men.
When women are choosing their kimono, they are dressing according to their marital status, their age and the event. When dressing in a Kimono, there are five rules that are very important to wear the Kimono respectfully. 1. Cross the left side over the right side. In order to close your kimono (or yukata) correctly. 2. Wear white tabi socks. 3. Tie the obi knot on the backside. Ever since the 1700s, it has been the standard practice to so. 4. Wear an undergarment called a naga juban under your kimono. 5. Reserve the Yukata (a summer Kimono) for informal events.
