The history of the clothing construction of the Japanese traditional costume has been scarcely studied in Japan. Therefore, the authors think that it is necessary to research the technical history of the Japanese traditional dresses.
It is difficult to conserve the textiles for a long time, because they are consumables. Some shrines, however, have been keeping them very well as an old sacred treasure : The authors had a chance to research some of them, the “Shin-i”, the sacred dress which was devoted to the Atsuta Shrine in the latter half of the Muromachi Era.
At the first step, the “Uwagi”, the outer garment of the “Koshinpo-shin-i”, is reported here.
The main stitching of the “Uwagi” is the “Futame-otoshi” (a long and short combination stitching) : The parts, which are easy to be unsewn such as the hems and the edges, are constructed strongly. All the sewing techniques are appropriate to the densely woven material of silk.
