Wiki History Listing


V1 A broad-sleeved outer cloak worn by nobility during the Heian period and onwards. The open sleeves are double width, approximately square, and are sewn to the front and back panels, which are not sewn to each other below the sleeves, often allowing the underlying kimono to be seen.

Originally designed as hunting clothes, they were comfortable enough that they became common informal clothing for the nobility during the Heian period and onwards.

Examples of characters wearing kariginu include [[Mononobe no Futo]] of the [[Touhou]] series and [[ryuujou (kancolle)|Ryuujou]] of [[Kantai Collection]].

Please note that this tag does not distinguish between actual kariginu, suikan and other similar clothes, encompassing all of them.
