About a month ago I went to a rummage sale at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcccm-cccjm.ca\/\">Montreal JCCC<\/a> and while I had no real intention of buying anything, I found this amazing cream-coloured obi with Arabic script on it and knew it had to come live with my mosque kimono. I honestly can&#8217;t tell if the writing on the obi actually says anything or is just sort of an artistic interpretation, so if anyone can tell me what it says, I&#8217;d very much appreciate it!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10414 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"173\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-173x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-600x1040.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-591x1024.jpg 591w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-87x150.jpg 87w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque.jpg 923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"173\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2-173x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2-600x1040.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2-591x1024.jpg 591w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2-87x150.jpg 87w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-2.jpg 923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"170\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3-170x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3-170x300.jpg 170w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3-600x1056.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3-582x1024.jpg 582w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3-85x150.jpg 85w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/mosque-3.jpg 909w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I cannot get over how perfectly these pieces pair together. The background colour of the obi echoes the yellow-gold clouds on the kimono and the green script and design elements bring out the palm trees around the hem of the kimono. I also used that colour as inspiration for the accessories, a gorgeous olive-green obiage and obijime that also weren&#8217;t a set but happen to match almost perfectly. I chose a very simple haneri with just some white and gold sakura. I wanted all the focus to be on the beautiful pairing of the kimono and obi.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Items used in this coordination<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 16%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-10414 gallery-columns-6 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/houmongi-6.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/houmongi-6-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-3607\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-3607'>\n\t\t\t\tShah Mosque\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/fukuro-27.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/fukuro-27-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-10413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/fukuro-27-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/fukuro-27-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-10413'>\n\t\t\t\tArabic Script\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/haneri-34.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/haneri-34-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-7336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/haneri-34-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/haneri-34-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/haneri-34-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-7336'>\n\t\t\t\tWhite sakura\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/obiage-28.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/obiage-28-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-7728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/obiage-28-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/obiage-28-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/obiage-28-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-7728'>\n\t\t\t\tOlive Rinzu\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/obijime.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/obijime-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-7329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/obijime-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/obijime-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/obijime-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-7329'>\n\t\t\t\tGold &#038; Olive\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back!
