Sashiko Jacket

1850-1899 (Meiji Era)

Japan

Sashiko is a quilting technique that uses a running stitch to reinforce and prolong the life of a textile or to join together recycled pieces of cloth into a new garment. Japanese farmers used the technique to create warmer and more durable fabrics, and decorative sashiko stitching developed from this practical function. This robe’s embroidered design is dominated by three variations on the pattern of interlocking circles, called shippō-tsunagi. The bottom band features a design of waves.

you know im unable to shut up when i have any opinion on zelda (though i try and have thus far succeeded at not commenting on any other concept from the darn book)- i find most totk ganondorf concept art worse than what we got to insulting even (of those i have seen) ..... this one though

much more the one in the background than the one up front, still at least he has the collar and the weapon we saw in the first trailer of things that never happen in the end (like so much else)

So I finished the first story, got it into a google doc, gonna run through it one more time to make sure it doesn't read too janky before I move onto the next story

Anyway, took it a while to actually feel like a Mononoke story (for me at least), but it did get there by the time I got to the end

Also Kusu loses his robe somewhere in there and it's never explained why? Or if it is, I missed that part?

Anyway

Day 6 of Hotsui Matsuri 2024: Demystifying Japanese Traditional Fashion

Welcome back to our final day of Hotsui Matsuri! I, Star, felt like it was over too fast -cries in shoujo- but it’s all good, we’ll have more content to give you next year too! For now though, we’ll end this year in a fashionable exit as I take you on a short tour of Japan’s traditional fashion trends. From how to wear a Kimono to when to Yukata I got chu! I’m pretty passionate about this subject…

@childoflegend replied: NO because when Shinoa was like “lol I can body you” to Shi I was like ?????? HE’S ONE OF THE STRONGEST ANGELS IN CREATION, wdym this 16 year old girl can defeat him just cuz she was one of his experiments 😭

NO SERIOUSLY-! like you mean to tell me the FIRST PROGENITOR. GODS FAVORED ANGEL. LITERALLY LUCIFER IN ALL BUT NAME- is losing to this???? they don't give us a reason for Shinoa being as strong as she is other than 'experiments' like how the fuck?? and why the hell would shi make a girl strong enough to repel HIMSELF- mUCH LESS HOW???? and legit he has not had a single victory since he first tried to take yu and mika and the manga expects us to still think of him as a threat????? how??? what happened to my sassy and teasing first progenitor that blew everyones shit when he first appeared and was named???

The D. Gray Man Crows are all supposed to have exceptional combat skills, Kanda even states they all start training in early childhood, and they use a combination of martial arts and magic.

But what I could never figure out is why they wear the heavy, red ceremonial robes.

You know, the ones in this scene. Seems like a super impractical choice. Even if they can use magic, why would a martial artist wear something so bulky that could potentially hinder (possibly fatally) their movements? Not to mention the mask and hood restricting visibility.

But then I thought of Cho in Castlevania:

If Cho can fight in Heian period dress, then sure. Mystery of the Crow ceremonial robes solved, I guess.

Now I really want to see Crows fighting like this 'cause I can watch this animation of Cho fighting all day.

Robe (Kosode)

Early 17th Century

This sumptuous robe is among the earliest extant kosode (garment with small sleeve openings). The natural scenery of Japan’s coast, with its beaches strewn with shells and sea grass, inspired the delicate embroidered design. The foundation fabric, woven in an intricate key-fret pattern with floral motifs, was likely imported from China in its white, undecorated state. It was then resist dyed to achieve the effect of irregular sandbanks, and the marine motifs were embroidered on top. The alternating bands of light blue were further embellished with gold-leaf accents.
