Our new Baron over here is Japanese, and although he usually goes with European garb & armor, I offered to make him some Japanese garb for Pennsic. He'd like a Kariginu outfit, and bought some historic reproduction fabric - polyester, but still Y20,000 roll. So while I have a pretty good idea of the thing, and feel I could put something together that would look good, before I start cutting up that fabric I would like to know if anyone has or knows of a correct Kariginu pattern, perferably online.
And yes, I told him it's hot at Pennsic and he'd roast, but he said 'Syoganai.'

You will probably need to be logged in to Yahoo! to be able to see the file--and it may be open to members of SCA-JML only (not a problem if you are a member, but since I'm not sure who will be reading this, now or in the future...), although anyone can join the list. You might want to try the shape out of muslin or something similar, first. Here's a good picture: www.sengokudaimyo.com/garb/graphics/garbphotos/kariginupurpS.jpgIf you look at the kariginu, it is 5 panels wide: two panels for each sleeve and then 1 panel wide for the body. The most complicated pieces are the okumi (the trapezoidal panels in front--you can make two of them out of one panel width) and the collar, which I've seen stiffened with something akin to papier mache, and it is shaped so that it is higher in the back, straight, but starts to slope a little at the shoulder to be thinner in front. Take a look at Figure 8 here: modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~logan/JapaneseHistory/clothes/sokutai/page2.jpg... I really would recommend trying one out of inexpensive fabric first, just to see if you get the right shape. -Ii |

Many thanks.
I was unaware that Bryant-dono had a cache of patterns... I looked all over sengokudaimyo, and printed out large parts of it, but have been working from the yoroi-shita patters, which were the only ones I knew of.
And yes, a test-run is a very good idea. Maybe I'll get some court garb out of it...
Again, many thanks.
Yamamori.

I'm not sure where Hiraizumi no Ason's patterns are on his site--some things there are patterns for and others there aren't (and I doubt he's going to update in the next couple of days, as he has been packing to move). The 'cache' is really at the SCA-Japanese Mailing List site on Yahoo!Groups: go to groups.yahoo.com and look for SCA-JML. Under the 'Files' section there are a whole bunch of files for garb and clothing. -Ii |
