Ishida san can You show me left or right side under arm? Is the front and rear part is sewn together? Ishida-dono hasn't signed in here in a few months. (Paging Ishida-dono. Ishida-dono to the green courtesy posting form, please.) Hopefully I can be of service. As far as my own hitatare go, the body is not sewn together front-to-back at the side seams under the arms. Neither are the sleeve openings sewn together front-to-back; the sleeves are attached to the body at the shoulder and otherwise open at both ends.

I can't speak for Ishida-dono's recreation, but in general, the sides of the body are not sewn together at all (it is like a large poncho with sleeves, where the sleeves are only sewn to the body along the top portion (basically to where you see the knots on the garment, here). If you are asking about inside the sleeve, at the bottom, where it is sewn together--for the hitatare the only places you need to sew the sleeve together are where it connects with the body and at the bottom to form a tube. For some garments, like the kariginu, it is not uncommon to leave a portion (maybe 6 to 9 inches? I'd need to look to be certain) open towards the body. I have no evidence at this time as to whether or not that was a period practice or if it is something that is done modernly. I usually sew it all the way, though, and have not noticed an appreciable difference, but it may actually have an effect on how things move.

Oh, and when it is left open, I notice that the ends are usually folded in, slightly.
