waistband
Heko obi is a casual obi that is like a single piece of cloth.
The easiest obi to tie is the heko obi, which is made like a single piece of cloth.
Originally, it was an obi belt worn by boys and children with their everyday clothes, and was simply a piece of soft cloth sewn together at both ends. Recently, it has been gaining attention as an obi belt for yukata, and is made of a variety of materials.
When wearing a heko obi made of a stiff material, it is easier to handle it if you fold the width of the obi in half before wearing it.
For both men and women, it is common to tie the obi in a katawana knot or morowana knot.
