Hello, everyone!
I am of the Imagawa family, known as Tomoe, and I hail from Drachenwald. I'm pretty new to the boards and have only been lurking up to this point. There's a question that's been eating me alive, and I hope someone here can save me. I've begun my first sewing project, which is a heian era informal court outfit, with some slight SCA tweaks (such as keeping the nagabakama the length of hakama, so I don't have to worry about destroying my fabric by walking all over it outdoors). The nagabakama are nearly finished, with the exception of couching those little hourglass-shaped symbols to the two ends of the ties. Before I do that, however, I want to know exactly what those things are and what they mean. I see them everywhere on photos of extant garb pieces and recreations, and I have no idea why they're there!
If any of you could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Tomoe
