Great example of everyday noragi (work clothes, worn by farmers for ex.)​ from Taisho period. Note the makisode sleeve shape, offering freedom of mouvement!

You can see the close-up of the weave, made from asa (bast-fiber like hemp or linen) and kamiyori (twisted paper thread​). Despite its "rugged" materials, weave is delicately interlocked with regular black stripes.

The coat also presents geometrical sashiko (white quilting), both reinforcing easily worn areas (collar, hems, inner center back), and decorating the garment.

PSA for writers: please please please don't put characters doing manual labour in "silk" kimono. I'll be forever grateful ;)

He supported me and my family🙏🏼📍

Hello, my name is Ahmed Omar. I’m 23 years old, living in Gaza City. We are enduring a brutal war of extermination, starvation, and displacement. This war has shattered our dreams and taken away everything we once owned. Now, my family and I can no longer live as we used to.

We are staying in a tent, far from our destroyed home, which is no longer habitable. We cannot support ourselves in this unfamiliar place. Every day is a struggle just to survive, and we lack even the most basic necessities.

I hope anyone who reads my story can help me and my family, even with a small contribution. It's been 18 days since I created my GoFundMe account, and not a single dollar has been donated.
