The other pieces were chosen primarily for their look, not any real symbolism. The haneri is a new one I got in a package from Ichiroya recently and I really liked how the pattern meshed with the kimono. I used other pale purple accessories to pull it all together. As much as I love this obi, I tend to forget what a nuisance it is to work with. It&#8217;s got seams in odd places, it&#8217;s very slippery, and it&#8217;s short even by vintage standards. I&#8217;m pretty sure it was a kimono or a juban at some point in its life, before it was remade into an obi.
