| Since the later Heian period, the common people had worn kosode (kimono with narrow sleeves) for going out; as the kosodes drawn emakimono (scroll with pictures) don't have tamoto (drooping part of sleeve of kimono) like normal kimono, it is considered that kosode's sleeve of those period wasn't tsutsusode. |
平安時代後期からは、小袖が庶民の表着として登場するが、絵巻物に見られるそれは筒袖ではなく袂が存在していた。 |
