  1. First adjust the length of the left side of the Obi so that the end of the Obi goes just past the knee.

  2. Next take the right side of the Obi and wrap it around your waist. Make sure the right side of the Obi goes under the left side of the Obi when you wrap it around your waist.

  3. Then pull tightly on the right side of the Obi until it fits snugly around your waist.

  4. After that fold the right side of the Obi (as in the picture) until it is just a little bit longer than the left side of the Obi. Next tie the Obi, making sure the position is at a 120° angle.

  5. After that fold the bottom side of the Obi in half, as in the picture. Tuck the bottom side of the OB into the mouth of the shell, as in the position. Pull the bottom side of the Obi all the way through the mouth of the shell.

  6. Then position the upper part of the Obi directly in front of you. Fold the upper part of the Obi, as in the picture, making sure the angle is 120°. Finally hit the shell to flatten it.
