Obi-ita are a kitsuke tool commonly associated with women's kimono attire. These long boards serve as a stiffener for an obi. The board is commonly tucked into place inside layers of the obi in front of a person on the belly. Without a obi-ita the obi will commonly endse up wrinkled and 'bacon' looking. When worn these stiffeners are not visible. Obi-ita can be worn with almost all kinds of women's obi from hanhaba obi, to fukuro obi.
The obi-ita we have for sale are wrapped in a nice fabric, and feature a flexible plastic core. This listing is for a single obi-ita.
