Chihaya (clothing)

Chihaya (襅; ちはや) refers to certain articles of clothing worn in Japanese culture.

These may include: One source describes the chihaya as "a traditional formal upper-garment with very large sleeves, a long strip falling along the back and tying-strings over the chest", and states that this garment was "used by nobles in the Heian court, where it was called 'a hunting garment' (kariginu)".
