Keep it LOOSE, keep it BAGGY, and it's OK to be a little FRUMPY. If you feel like it, you can slant your OHASHORI down and off to the right for a fashionable effect. And the OBI ? Wear it high or low around your waist. NO PROBLEM ! Just relax, don't sweat it, don't worry, have fun, be happy. * Hey, what's with the long-haired girl on the left ? And...what's with the fish swimming around those parasols ? Welcome to the 1880s through the 1890s in old Meiji-era Japan. ♥ www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/6154259951/ ♥ www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/6095823072/ ♥ www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/14986822556/ PS. Thanks to Flickr member Anna Goldzahn for pointing out that, at least at the time of these photos, the OBI was worn much lower around the waist, compared with what is practiced today. * [PHOTO NOTE : Close crop scanned from a large, hand-colored albumen print.
