Tsuba obidome - Inome

The "tsuba" (guard guard) protects the samurai's hands. Since ancient times, the heart-shaped inome (boar's eye) has been used as a talisman to ward off evil spirits. This inome-adorned tsuba has now been turned into an obidome. "Traditional Japanese culture" - the obi (sash) enhances the beauty of a kimono, and the obidome enhances the beauty of the obi. Changing traditional Japanese accessories can completely change the impression of a kimono. Adding an obijime (sash band) or obidome to a yukata (summoner's kimono) can also elevate your look. Wargo's unique obidome, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a playful spirit, has been created. This obidome is based on the familiar Japanese "tsuba" (guard guard). The front and back of the tsuba have a warm matte finish. The sides are polished for a lustrous finish, adding texture. This obidome (brooch) exudes a retro vibe. It can also be worn casually with a leather belt or chain, pairing with Western clothing. Wearing one makes a statement. It looks great with both simple obi and obi with large patterns. It is an obi clip that can be easily coordinated with the patterns and motifs of kimonos and yukatas. Incorporate the traditional beauty of Japan into your everyday fashion in a stylish way that suits you, without being limited to the boundaries of Japanese accessories.
■ Designer's Thoughts: We've crafted this obi-dome from the tsuba (guard), a part of a sword that was a symbol of the samurai era. The inome, a heart-shaped motif based on the boar's eye, has long been believed to have the power to ward off evil. The inome is also believed to ward off evil and, by extension, to bring good fortune, making it a highly auspicious design. We've crafted this tsuba, incorporating the inome design, into an obi-dome. By threading an obi-jime or belt through the kogai-hitsu (hairpin box) and kozuka-hitsu (small box) located next to the central hole through which the sword is passed, you can use it in a variety of ways, including as an obi-dome. Tsuba, a fashionable accessory that samurai warriors prized during the samurai era, is a design we hope you will incorporate into modern fashion.
