Half-assed - Hanjiri

A type of kariginu worn by male nobles from the Heian period onwards. It was called hanjiri because the back hem (hips) was shorter than that of normal kariginu. In the early modern period, it became a decorative garment worn by princes and children of the noble families during ceremonies, and the fabric was said to be double-layered fabric for those of the Sekke and above, and floating fabric for those of the Seika family. In addition to raw fabric, kenmonsha was also used in the summer. A twisted string was passed through the cuffs and then shaped into tweezers or sewn in an abalone knot, and chrysanthemum stitching was also added inside. With the half-shiri costume, a sashi-nuki (thin sleeve) was worn, or a saibari (front-attached) ooguchi-bakama (large-mouthed hakama), a stiff white hakama made from a thick weft thread on the front fabric.

平安時代以降、公家(くげ)男子が用いた狩衣(かりぎぬ)の一種。普通の狩衣より後ろの裾(すそ)（尻）が短いため、半尻とよばれた。近世になると、親王、公卿(くぎょう)家の童(わらわ)が儀式のときに用いる装飾的な衣服となり、その地質は摂家以上の者が二重(ふたえ)織物、清華家の者は浮織物を使うとされ、夏には生織(きお)りのもののほか、顕文紗(しゃ)が用いられた。その袖口(そでぐち)に左右撚(よ)りの紐(ひも)をさし通してから毛抜形にしたり、あわび結びにして綴(と)じ付け、またその中に菊綴(きくとじ)をつけたりした。半尻装束には、指貫(さしぬき)をはくか、前張(さいばり)の大口袴(おおぐちばかま)といって、前側の生地(きじ)に緯糸(よこいと)の太い大精好(おおせいごう)を用いて仕立てた張りの強い白い袴をはいた。
