GREAT novelty knot for this obi shaped like a cute bat. The soft fabric must flutter a bit when you walk, making the bat wings move (LOVE!).

To shape this knot, OP used rubber bands and a sanjûihimo (3 straps elastic belt, Billy Matsunaga has a tutorial on sewing the 4 straps-variation + see how it’s used here).

How would you rate Minato's Sekirei group? From your least favorite to favorite.

Okay, let it be known I like all the characters in Sekirei really as they're all cool and/or funny, but from least favorite to most favorite it's:

No. 108 Kusano

Nothing against Kuu-chan, but she's also just a kid essentially. A kid that's basically in a battle royal. She is really pure, funny, and adorable, but also she's again just a kid. And after seeing her almost be forced to awaken by that creep Mikogami Hayato, I'm just always like "Just leave her out of this and let her be happy!"

No. 02 Matsu

I can't get over how I found her to be a little weird or creepy when she was first introduced and she struck me as obsessive when I first saw her interact with Minato. Though it is cool how she's such a different type of Sekirei compared to all the others in the show, sticking to computers and strategy only.

No. 88 Musubi

A good first introduction girl to the Sekirei universe! She's very cute and so sweet, but also a little ditzy/naive and that does add to her cheery, cute character, but I could also see that getting a little frustrating.

No. 06 Homura

I thought that they were really cool and I liked their fire power. It was also confusing as heck trying to figure out what their deal was when I first watched Sekirei as a kid. I had no idea if they were a guy or actually a girl (I blame there being a lot of 'traps' in the anime I was watching at the time for that). Now I know he's a guy in a girl's body I guess? Or rather, his body, like his powers was, unstable and slowly feminized into a female body, but also can change their gender after they're winged by Minato? I still don't fully understand it, but I still think they're cool and I like how strong they are. Also, being a protector of other 'unwinged' Sekirei was really awesome.

No. 09 Tsukiumi

In a wave of utter sexiness, she takes the term "traditional woman" to a whole new level haha. I love her outfit and also her hair style! I'll admit, the way she talks can be a little awkward and weird at first, but I also find it cute and endearing! She seems like she'd make an amazing wife!

No. 03 Kazehana

I mean.... come on. I mean.... COME ON! She's amazing! She's so strong, confident, funny, and oh so sexy! This shouldn't be a surprise given how much I love Anko Mitarashi from Naruto. She was also the first woman I saw do the naked apron cliche in anime, so there's that to add to me favoriting her more than all the others haha.

Edo period women obi knots, fantastic reference chart by Edo lover Nadeshico Rin.

You can see here several obi musubi favored by city women, of all class and status. Novelty knots were a fashion statement, often lauched by star onnagata kabuki actors, and spread by iki fashionistas such as geisha.
