Hitoe obi means "one-layer obi". It is made from silk cloth so stiff that the obi does not need lining or in-sewn stiffeners. One of these cloth types is called Hakata ori. A hitoe obi can be worn with everyday kimono or yukata. A hitoe obi is 15centimetres (5.9in) to 20centimetres (7.9in) wide (the so-called hanhaba obi) or 30centimetres (12in) wide and about 400centimetres (13ft) long.
