Edo period women obi knots, fantastic reference chart by Edo lover Nadeshico Rin.

You can see here several obi musubi favored by city women, of all class and status. Novelty knots were a fashion statement, often lauched by star onnagata kabuki actors, and spread by iki fashionistas such as geisha.

For top to bottom, left to right, you can see here:

  • Chidori musubi (plover knot) ちどり結び
  • Shôryû musubi (little dragon knot) 小龍結び
  • Kichiya musubi (Kichiya knot) 吉弥 結び - named after onnagata actor Uemura Kichiya I in Genroku period, who single handedly launched a new type of knots and obi fashion
  • Koman musubi (Koman knot) 小万結び - named after a kabuki character in play Yakko no Koman
  • Nagoya obi (Nagoya belt) 名古屋帯 - Azuchi Momoyama/Early Edo era silk kumihimo tied in butterfly knot
  • Yanoji musubi (arrow knot) 矢の字結び - created by onnagata actor Segawa Kikunojo II. Also found under the name tateya musubi 立て矢結び (standing arrow knot)
  • Yoshio musubi (Yoshio knot) よしお結び
  • Mizuki musubi (Mizuki knot) 水木結び - onnagata actor Mizuki Tatsunosuke is said to have first worn this variation of the Kichiya musubi
  • Rokô musubi (rôkô knot) 路孝結び - created by onnagata actor Segawa Kikunojo II
  • Karuta musubi (card knot) カルタ結び - created in early Edo period, looking like 3 playing cards side by side
  • Hitotsu musubi (single knot) 一つ結び - during Edo, was also called darari musubi だらり結び. Note that it differs from is nowadays called darari obi (worn by maiko)
  • Tate musubi (standing knot) 立て結び - see yanoji/tateya musubi for variations
  • Bunko kuzushi (unbalanced knot) 文庫くずし
  • Heijûrô musubi (Heijûrô knot) 平十郎結び - created by actor Murayama Heijûrô III
