Since I am writing a story in which Kaoru and Chizuru are part of the Shieikan together I present you with this fine meme:

Who can tell the twins apart?

(no I am not hyping my own fic, what do you mean?)

[nero-draco]

Rikyu: You got like, 2 from before and 3 now. Impressive track record honestly.

[chessere]

Phantom of the past.

I like serizawa and yamanami as a combination a lot actually. The thought that yamanamisan took part in serizawa's assassination to build the shinsengumi with kondo, but in the end he died because of the shinsengumi he helped build... The irony is *chef's kiss*

Now. About me personally. Half the reason i logged back into my tumblr is to post historical rpf stuff. But your boy learned about 創作新選組 and started a new twt account for historical rpf specifically creative shinsengumi? So rn I'm juggling 4 main accounts in 3 different languages that I don't have time for any other sites i plan to use jjfjjfjdNCJSJFJ

Ainu kaparamip robe Hokkaido, Japan, 19th–20th centuries White cotton ground with colored appliqué patterns Shizuoka City Serizawa Keisuke Art Museum

In the 16th century trade with the West introduced European cotton and wool to the Japanese, and though Japan closed its borders to the outside world at the dawn of the 17th century, maintained limited trade with Chinese and Dutch merchants allowed continued procurement of the materials, as well as other goods.

Throughout the Edo period (1603–1868) Hokkaido existed as a sort of borderland within the state of Japan. Officially under Japanese rule, it was administered by a hereditary governorship left largely to its own devices in local matters, and the rugged northern island was wild and untamed, and undeniably a frontier land within the political sphere. The indigenous peoples of the island, the Ainu, bartered and traded with the nominal Japanese government, and with Japanese traders from the south, procuring metalwork cooking implements and weapons as needed, but mostly continued to live as they had for centuries, if not millennia.

The Ainu used all the resources their home gave them, and made clothes from animal skins and from tree bark and plant fibers. Popular plants for creating fabric included elm bark, known as attush, and the fibers from staff trees and nettles, called retarpe, which means “white things”, due to the color of the fabric they created. Skin-coats were made from everything from the seals and bears they hunted to birds, dogs, and even fish—a fish-skin coat in fact was lightweight, strong and durable, and waterproof. The clothing they created is notable for the striking geometric and abstract patterns prominently and extensively used in their designs, which were created either through embroidery or with applied fabrics.

Western cotton and wool were first introduced to the Ainu in the early Edo period, in small quantities. Cotton became popular, but was hard to come by. Ainu women would barter for old Japanese clothing or bedsheets made of the material, and stockpile what they could, then cut the fabric into strips and apply them to garments made of more traditional materials, a technique they called ruunpe.

In the late Edo period, starting around the end of the 18th century, large quantities of cotton became available to the Ainu through trade with Japanese traders from Honshu, and they began making garments with the material in addition to the more traditional fabrics derived from animal skins and tree bark. These cotton garments became generally known as chikarkarpe, which means “things we embroider”, while lightweight cotton clothing in particular became known as kaparamip, meaning “thin clothes”.

In 1855 the central Tokugawa government took over direct control of the island to defend against possible Russian incursions, and after Japan opened itself up to the world and entered the Meiji period (1868–1912), the wave of modernization that followed touched on Hokkaido as well. As trade and industrialization made mass-production of cheaper, Western cloth available, and under increasing geopolitical pressure from Japan’s central government, including forced assimilation, the Ainu people were slowly absorbed into the nation’s populace, and most traditional forms of clothing disappeared. Today the Ainu are a minority ethnic group in Japan.
