The woman you mentioned is probably a married woman. <BR/><BR/>Until early Edo period, both men and women usually tied obi in front. At that time, width of obi was narrow. But in the early Edo period, Kabuki actors started to use gorgeous wide obi. Seeing them, wide obi became popular among young women. Since wide obi interferes with the movement of upper body, young women wearing wide obi tied them behind their backs. In the beginning, that craze was only among unmarried women, so married women were wearing narrow obi as before. However, the width of obi of married women also gradually became wider and wider affected by unmarried women. In the early 19th century when this scroll was painted, both unmarried and married women wore wide obi, so they usually tied their obi behind their backs.<BR/><BR/>The following screens were painted in the 16th-17th century. You can see people wearing narrow obi.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/tomooji/imgs/e/9/e98ed10c.jpg" REL="nofollow">"Maple Viewing at Takao"</A> by Kano Hideyori (16th century)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.tnm.go.jp/gallery/search/images/max/C0038239.jpg" REL="nofollow">"Cherry Blossom Viewing"</A> by Kano Naganobu (1577-1654)Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536933068080995233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851691829238862848.post-90863735869914366482009-02-14T20:40:00.000+09:002009-02-14T20:40:00.000+09:00In one of the pictures, on the left side, there is...In one of the pictures, on the left side, there is a woman in yellow with a small child.
