In Awa Odori dance, they are used by hanging them from the obi with a cord, often with the name of the dance group or other characters written on them.
While they have an element of accessory, they are also used as practical items for carrying , coins, lipstick, etc. (*Quoted from Awa Odori Book. II by Kazuhide Minami and two others)
