KataginuĀ are vest like clothing items worn by the ruling samurai class of the early Sengoku / Muromachi and Edo Era of Japan. They were often crafted using the same fabric as the hakama and were open under the arms, making them a āsidelessā samurai vest.Ā Samurai would always wear theĀ kataginuĀ over theirĀ kimonoĀ whenever in public, as a mark of their class.Ā Ā When worn with a hakama, the clothing set would be referred to as aĀ kataginu kamishimo. Into the Edo Era theĀ KataginuĀ were referred to more as āKamishimoā If the samurai vest material does not match the hakama, itĀ typically denotes the samurai is of low rank and the vest will then likely match the family or clan color, in which the samurai serves under.Ā On formal occasions the samurai will have theĀ kamonĀ or family / clan symbol on the lapel and/or the back of theĀ kataginu.
