  Japan → Southeast Asian (unspecified)

  “Wide, shallow conical hat in tightly woven pale straw. Reads as Vietnamese non la, though Chinese douli or Japanese sugegasa forms are similar. Rendered in a refined woven texture.”

• Hakama · Japan · East AsiaLook 28

  Home tradition

  “Very wide, floor-skimming legs with deep vertical knife pleats falling from a high waist, giving a divided-skirt silhouette like hakama; other readings are generic wide pleated culottes.”

• Shibori · Japan · East AsiaLook 33

  Home tradition

  “Indigo-blue cloth with streaky, irregular vertical resist-dye striations and soft blurred edges, resembling arashi pole-wrap shibori. Could also be generic tie-dye or a digital print.”
