What’s In an Obi? Part 6
On The Fifth Day Of Fun I present... a new obi! This one is super colorful and fun, so let’s take a look!

Motifs: All Season Flowers In Circles
This is truly a stand out obi, not least of all because it can be worn from anytime between October and May. This is accentuated by the leaves representing autumn and cherry blossoms representing spring sprinkled around the circles.
There’s five main circles that repeat on this obi: wisteria, chrysanthemums, maple leaves, peonies, and orange blossoms.
Wisteria have traditionally been a flower of spring and are well known for their beauty that rivals the cherry blossoms in viewing.
Chrysanthemums are one of the two national flowers of Japan (the other being cherry blossoms) and are a symbol of the imperial family. They’re also a flower of autumn as that’s when they bloom and are appreciated to the fullest.
Maple leaves are the “second cherry blossoms” of Kyoto in that tourists flock to the old capital in droves to view them in the late months of the year to watch their stunning display of colors.
Peonies are the undisputed “King of Flowers” whose large blossoms herald spring.
Orange blossoms are a symbol of winter and the cold and remind us that spring will soon be with us once again.

Osaka Maiko Chiyoha 1911
Teruha debuted in the Shinbashi geisha district of Tokyo in 1911, but prior to that she was a maiko (apprentice geisha) by the name of Chiyoha in the Sōemon-chō geisha district of Osaka. She debuted in Osaka in 1909, after several months training as a minarai (watching apprentice), having been sold into the flower and willow world aged 12 years. To increase her commercial value, Chiyoha was dressed in the Kyoto style with a Kyōfu hairstyle and a darari obi.
