Kichiya-musubi, 1905
A Geisha dressed in the Genroku style, fashionable among Tokyo Geisha around 1905-1908. She is showing her obi, tied in the Kichiya-musubi style, a knot named after Kamimura Kichiya (or Uemura Kichiya I) who was a popular Kabuki Actor during the Genroku period (1680′s).
The Kichiya-musubi was in fact a particularly famous and popular knot, mentioned specifically in a number of poems. The knot is a relatively simple one, but with small lead weights hidden in the obi, weighing down the ends of the bow, so they drooped “like the ears of a … Chinese lion-dog.” / src: Blue Ruin
