How to Get Rid of Your Sleeves

Let's ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto

Ай бұрын

Kimono sleeves are very long for fashion and to be as pockets, but they do get in your way sometimes. That’s why Japanese people used to do Tasukigaké, using these strings to tie up their sleeves. Let me teach you how to do this. You first hold one end in your mouth. You bring the string under your arm and behind your back. The string goes over your other shoulder, under the other arm, and behind your back again. At this point, there should be an X on your back. Tie the two ends of the string together and move the knot to the back. Once you get used to it, it only takes about 10 seconds to do this. Please check out my online lessons if you want to learn katana techniques.

It's a beautiful detail animated in Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Didn't have to be animated, they could have designed the character costume to not need this, but animators attention to detail and cultural sensitivity absolutely makes that movie.

@samcast1676 Ай бұрын

The director sent much of his staff on several trips to connect with their traditional culture. Since he was an older Japanese guy, he got furious that his younger Japanese staff couldn't get the details right and had them do several revisions.

It's funny because these can be compared to western trouser braces too keep your trousers up and prevent them from sagging but also keeps the usually quite loose fitted shirts back then more in control.

@kookiekommenter Ай бұрын

@@GTchumno, not belts. Trouser braces. They can also be called suspenders, each term is more common in different countries.

@MediocreNed Ай бұрын

These are a lot more closer to sleeve garters than suspenders. You know the barber shop quartet sleeve straps. They were used during the latter half of the 1800s because the mass produced shirts were made in only one size, too long. It was easier for the factories to make it that way. What you did was stuff all the slacked sleeve above the garter so the cuff the sleeve would be in the right place. Sleeve garters died off once mass produced clothing started to be made in different sizes making them obsolete.

It explains where Mai Shiranui's back ropes come from while simultaneously makes it an ironic character design quirk since her outfit has no sleeves

@princessaria 16 күн бұрын

More specifically, I believe that’s a tasuki made of shimenawa. Shimenawa are ropes are used in Shintoism to adorn sacred trees, temples, etc. They are also traditionally worn by yokozuna (grand champion sumo wrestlers), though those are worn around the waist, since it actually has to be functional-characters wearing it in a big bow on their back just makes for a more dramatic design I think, and was probably easier to visually parse back in the days when we didn’t have super advanced graphics in arcade games haha!

It seems nice to put things in, like a backpack, I prefer a tighter backpack. I recently used the Roycroft backpack for two days, once for 7 km with 10 kg, and once just on the way back, 3.5 with about 7-10 kg (I didn't weigh it, or if I did I forgot), it was more comfortable than a normal backpack, I was very surprised. At first it seemed like it was going to hurt, in the end it was much better than the one I use most.

I once read this story about two samurai who were about to duel. As they were tying their sleeves back, one of the samurai was basically like 'screw this, I'm not fighting that guy' because of how quickly he tied his sleeves. Anyone else ever heard that? True or no?
