Originally, the haori was an exclusively masculine garment, worn by powerful warriors who made it a sort of coat worn over their breastplates.
The colors and decorations visibly designated the clan to which they belonged.
When this jinbaori lost its military function, it transformed into a jacket with or without sleeves and whose shape evolved over time.
The haori does not cross in front but is closed with a himo (silk cord), leaving a space between the two sides.
