description
The Jin-Baori is a kind of doublet that is worn on ceremonial occasions. It is usually made of fabric, silk , damask , brocade , or leather . Usually it has no sleeves but a collar . The different versions are named as follows:
- Hampi-Baori: without sleeves
- Karaka-Baori: Without sleeves, but ruffles on the shoulder
- Sode-Baori: flowing sleeves
Some of the Jin-Baori had brigantines on their shoulders as armor . They are often very richly embroidered and often have the coat of arms of the clan or the liege lord on the back (e.g. "Tokugawa-Mon").
