The term 'Kimono Closer' refers to two components of traditional Japanese clothing: the SASH (or OBI) and the kimono. The SASH is a long, narrow strip of fabric that is tied around the waist of the kimono to secure it in place. The OBI is a wide, decorative belt that is worn over the SASH and is used to further secure the kimono. Together, the SASH and OBI are essential components of the traditional Japanese kimono.
