Kariginu Gallery

The Kariginu is a traditional style of Japanese clothing originating in the Heian period, initially worn by aristocrats for hunting before evolving into everyday casual wear. Common elements include wide, detached sleeves, intricate traditional patterns, and high rounded collars. Today, the Kariginu is prominently featured in historical artwork, depicting Shinto priests, classical onmyoji, and noblemen in elegant, classical settings.
