Giyuu's Haori

(Contains manga spoilers‼️)

I fell into a rabbit hole (yay hyperfixations) about the pattern in Giyuu's haori and I'll try to compile interesting things here.

Firstly, basic facts, Giyuu has the half and half haori pattern. Left half from Sabito and right half from Tsutako.

Just a bit of googling revealed the geometric pattern is called the "Bishamon-Kikko" pattern, here is what it looks like:

What the Bishamon-Kikko is, is 3 Kikko hexagons combined into one. Here's a Kikko pattern:

Hexagons are the bestagons, indeed.

"Kikko" means turtle shell. The pattern comes from turtle shells being used in armor and form roughly a honeycomb pattern. And since the wikipedia page explains it better than I will:

The pattern on clothing means "good fortune" and "long life" - maybe Giyuu was destined to be one of the surviving Hashira.

And interestingly, "Tomioka" also means abundant/rich hill/mount. Giyuu canonically being rich is a theory for another day.

Here's a more deep dive into specifically the Bishamon-Kikko pattern:

The pattern comes from the standing statue of Bishamonten (Sanskrit: Vaishravana), a Buddhist god of warfare.

Bishamonten's origin is traced back to Hindu God of Wealth Kubera (wealth, again). He started being known as Vaishravana after a selfless act that earned him the God status and went on to follow Buddha's ideals, making him an important figure in Buddhism. As belief evolved towards East Asia, Bishamonten started being recognized more for bravery and warfare than wealth.

It fits in with the name "Giyuu", meaning brave and righteous.

Something kinda irrelevant to Giyuu but still interesting: The Bishamon-Kikko pattern on clothes in Japan comes from the Bishamonten but the Chinese history is a little different: the pattern is called a "mountain scale" said to be used in armory. Only problem? No one has been able to prove it actually existed and was used despite it being depicted in art many, many times. There have been pretty interesting recreation efforts but they're not exactly.. ideal. This article explains it perfectly if you wanna deep dive.

Another thing worth mentioning, Giyuu's haori pattern is a combination of the Kikko and the Bishamon Kikko. From all my googling, not once did I see a combination of the two to form a pattern. It's exclusively Giyuu's pattern, which makes me wonder where Gotouge even got their inspiration from.

Now to address the biggest question, is the pattern about Giyuu or Sabito? Who did Gotouge have in mind while creating the pattern? I don't know if I should think too hard about this lmao.
