Hanhaba obi are informal types of obi, which are most often paired with yukata. Their informal nature lends well to allowing for creative styles, and innovation. There are countless ways you can tie hanhaba obi, and in this FREE workshop, you will learn several. This virtual workshop will be taught by the amazing Traeonna, who is studying to become a traditional kimono dressing instructor.

Typically the only accessory people use with hanhaba obi are obi-ita. While attending the class you don't have to participate and you can observe, everyone is welcome to take part and practice.
