The ''hanhaba obi'' obtains its name from the fact that it is only half the width of other obi. This is an obi for casual wear at home, or under a ''haori'' (kimono coat). It is also worn with children's kimono or with the lighter summer yukata. In the case of children's obi, they are often brightly colored, with patterns stencilled on, rather than embroidery. | The ''hanhaba obi'' obtains its name from the fact that it is only half the width of other obi.
