This is meant to be a recreation of the green hitatare kamishimo that is dated in Mitsuo Kure's book as being "Mid-Kamakura", only without all the fabric painting. All the braid and cord is store bought, flat cotton twill tape for the sleeves and drawstring cord for the ties and kotsuyu. All the green fabric is a nice heavy linen, presumably the same stuff Ishida-dono used ofr his, as it's from the same source. I had enough extra fabric to make a kataginu, but I think it might look a little funny to wear an unadorned kataginu with hakama that have kotsuyu. Anyway, more pictures at - www.ee0r.com/proj/hitatare.htmlI still have to make the proper undergarments. I have fabric for them but may not have time for several weeks.

Love that color. Nice work, but I'd rather see it ON YOU.

Sumimasen ... which of Kure-san's books is it in? I am looking through my copy of _Samurai: an Illustrated History_ and failing to find the original.

This one is in _Samurai: Arms, Armor, Costume_, which I refer to as the "Kure Red Book". I should have specified. It's the same garment as www.iz2.or.jp/english/fukusyoku/busou/5.htm at the Japanese Costume Museum in Kyoto.

That book is scary and wrong a lot, although it has pretty pictures. Ishiyama-dono, that is gorgeous, as always.

So-hime, be warned: the Big Red Book is very shiny and has lots of color photographs. The text, however, is a minefield. That book is scary and wrong a lot, although it has pretty pictures. I agree with these two worthy gentles, of course. I try to use the text from the Costume Museum website to compensate for the book's sub-par text and the pictures from the book to compensate for the website's sub-par images.

I completely agree. It is amazing how the little things, like the knots, bring out everything else.
