Because there are many types of kimonos in Japan, different kimono belts are knotted in different ways and must be matched with different hairstyles. The Japanese Oiran kimono's bow is tied in the front. The sash of Yume Kabuki kimono is tied in the front, which is similar to the dress of ordinary women.

The highest-ranking prostitutes in Japan at that time were called "oirans", also known as dahus. Courtesans are not only beautiful in appearance, but also possess high cultural attainment. They are good at traditional skills such as music, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, poetry, calligraphy and dance.

Orans usually wear gorgeous kimonos. The biggest difference from geishas is the complicated headdress on their heads and the belt of the kimono knotted in front. In order to highlight the fact that they are not selling their bodies, geisha wear their kimono belts tied at the back like ordinary women.

The bow on the front of the kimono is the obi knot, which is part of the kimono. Tying the kimono with an obi can prevent the kimono from loosening and show the beauty of the body. It is also used for decoration, making the gorgeous kimono more colorful.

Extended information:

Japanese kimonos are not only divided into men's and women's kimonos (men's kimonos are more monotonous in color, focusing on black, with fewer styles, thin belts, simple accessories, and easy to wear; Women's kimonos are colorful and gorgeous, with wide belts, various types and styles, and many accessories)? They can be single or married, and they can be divided into casual clothes and formal wear.
