it's a great book to lead you to use obi as part of the decoration in your home. it gives you alot of ideas how to put and what you can do with obi before you display them in your home. also, it tells the different kinds of obi in design and material it is made from. actually, it gives you extra knowledge of other japanese traditional accessories; as the pictures in this book shows you how the obi goes together very well with basic things every houses have. great book.

I happened to pick this book up at a bookstore in Japan and suddenly I realized that you can do more with an obi than wear it with a kimono. As a result, everyone in my family is getting souvenir obis, and I'm excited to start using the ideas presented in the book.

Some of the ideas made me nervous--using an obi as a table runner would eventually lead to stains--but this book opened up a whole new world to me that I hadn't even considered. For that, I'm thankful.

Buy this before you travel to Japan then enjoy the beauty of their unique art! Visit Temple sales and flea markets all over Japan to find these things at a reasonable price.

Prompt and efficent delivery as stated.

Came in a package folded in Japanese style.

Very nicely done!

Thank you!

This is a terrific book for people (like me) who have no idea how easy it is to use these beautiful obis to create a big statement without any effort whatsoever. There are many obis available for sale at reasonable prices and the book showed me exactly how to show one off.

It wasn't what i was expecting, but it is a very interesting book.
