kariginu

A type of Japanese clothing.

A notable feature are the sleeves: they are not sewn to the body of the clothing, giving a distinct open slit on the shoulders.

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

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