V1 [b]Obijime[/b] (帯締め, おびじめ) is a small decorative string tied around the [[obi]], used only in women's [[kimono]].

It's about 150 cm (4.9 ft) long and is tied around the obi and through the knot, and which doubles as decoration. It can be a woven [[string]], or be constructed as a narrow sewn tube of fabric. There are both flat and round obijime. They often have [[tassel|tassels]] at both ends and are made from [[silk]], [[satin]], brocade or viscose. A cord-like or a padded tube obijime is considered more festive and ceremonial than a flat one.
