FINALLY! AN OBI WORTHY OF MY GEIKO DRAGON HIKIZURI!

One of the reasons I've been delaying in getting photos of myself all dressed up in my dragon hikizuri is that I was searching for a really smashing obi to go with it. I really wanted something that kept with the dragon motif, but also matched stylistically, unfortunately these obi were usually WAY out of my price range. Anyways, seeing as I had some extra cash recently, I found this obi and went for it tooth and nail, and I am not disappointed.

Sorry, guys still no kitsuke photos, though. I've got bronchitis and the moment, so I'm not feeling up to putting on the whole get up. Hopefully, I'll have some for you when my lungs clear up.

Oh! By the way, I figured out which okiya my hikizuri came from! It's from the Yoshifumi okiya in Miyagawa-cho.

Don't worry, I didn't make this one. I bought it a while back and have been searching for the right obi for it since then.
:iconeternalrequiem:

Oh, I'd definitely love to see!

Thanks! When I saw that obi, it was like "THAT'S MINE!!!!! Touch it and die..." After all I've had this one gold dragon obi that's been mocking me for ages. Every time I had cash, it's nowhere to be found. Every time I had none, it would be listed for like $10 (regular price was about $400 - ryujapan even sells it for $600).

They'll be along at some point! XD

oh a so beautifully stunning kimono :love: and also the Obi is very good match to it. Wish I could have a similar one too :-)
Strangely I didn\'t discovered this one before even I have you in my watchlist.
