Donning Sarasa
At times, imported sarasa was stunningly tailored into kosode (small-sleeved kimono) and jinbaori (campaign jackets). During the prohibition against luxury items, sarasa was worn inside or under one’s clothing and enjoyed secretly by its wearer. Actual scenes of people wearing kosode and jinbaori embellished with sarasa can be found in Edo-period fūzoku-ga (genre paintings).
