I know that it was common practice to put horizontal stripe-bands across the top area of hakama, but does anyone else know of any examples of striping around the ends of the legs? I have been looking but can't find anything - I feel like I'm not looking in the right place, or am blind, or just haven't found the right book to look at. Have any of you folks run across anything like it before?

I can't think of any stripes around the hemlines except for suou, when the entire fabric is striped.

I know that it was common practice to put horizontal stripe-bands across the top area of hakama, but does anyone else know of any examples of striping around the ends of the legs? Maybe not all the way down at the hemline, but there are at least two examples in "Maple Viewing at Mt. Takao" of horizontal stripes lower down on the legs. Both the "dancer" and "parasol holder" have horizontal stripes below the knee. Parasol has them just below the knee, and dancer has them at about mid-shin. Also, and this may be too late-period for you (probably circa 1600), and I'm not entirely sure if this is hakama or what, but the young man at the far right of "Merrymaking Under the Cherry Blossoms" has stripes around the bottom hem of his clothing. Hope these help! |

Oh wow, thank you so much! I can't believe I completely missed the one in Maple Viewing at Mt Takao!
This is PERFECT. Thank you again!
