Shima No.01A — Kimono Obi Guitar Strap

Shima No.01A — Kimono Obi Guitar Strap is a one-of-a-kind guitar strap handmade in Hiroshima, Japan from vertical stripe (shima) woven into Japanese obi textile. It keeps the visual character of the original weave while staying practical for rehearsal, recording, and stage use.

Pattern Story
This piece carries a vertical stripe (shima). Shima means stripe in Japanese textiles. This is one of the oldest and most practical patterns—vertical lines are fast to weave and won't wrinkle your strap during play. We keep that character intact, then translate it into something built to be played rather than only admired.

One of One
Each strap is cut from a different section of the obi, so pattern placement always changes. The mood stays consistent, but no two pieces land in exactly the same way.

Why Players Choose It
Obi Guitar Factory is built in Hiroshima, Japan and stays musician-first. The goal is simple: strong visual identity, dependable hold, and comfort that still feels right deep into a set.

Materials
We choose obi textile for woven texture, visual weight, and the way it reads on stage and on camera. Small variation is part of the value, not a defect.

Care
Treat it like a performance accessory made from decorative textile. Avoid heavy friction, prolonged moisture, direct sun, and harsh cleaners. After use, wipe gently with a dry cloth and store in a cool, dry place.
