I am a total tomboy and hate being girly, but for some reason, I'd gladly wear a kimono and obi... though made of cotton of course cause I'm vegetarian... There's just something so appealing about the whole thing... of course, I'd have to show off my fan tricks...

ive noticed that there is a small difference in the pontocho darari obi than the gion,miyagawacho,kamishichiken (etc) both sides of the darari obi arent crossing over that much but the other obis are crossed over each dide its kinda weird bt otherwise beautiful dance

Très beau ...merci..!!
The meaning of tying the obi with the knot in front or back is often misunderstood. Courtesans (who sold their bodies) did tie the obi in front. Geisha (who were not supposed to sell their bodies) tied it in back. But the reason was NOT so that the obi could be untied more quickly. In the 17th century, a MARRIED WOMAN tied her obi in the front, an unmarried woman tied it in back. (cont.)

Courtesans were technically "wives for the evening", thus the front-tied obi indicated their status as sexually experienced women. Geisha (not technically sexually available) were categorized socially a unmarried women, thus tying the obi in back.
