What is Hanagamibukuro of Samurai Armor
This is a pocket-like bag attached to the left side of the chest armor (Do) or the back of the skirt (Kusazuri) in the modern armor (Tousei Gusoku). It is mainly made of woolen "Rasha" or glossy silk material "Velvet", and small items such as hemostatic drugs and money were put in. If it has a lid, it is fastened like a button using ivory parts called ""Kasakohaze"" and ""Semekohaze"". It was attached by threading a thin thread through a hole in the plate called ""Sane"" that makes up the body. High-ranking warriors attached it to the left side of the front body, while general warriors (subordinates of high-ranking warriors) attached it to the back center of the front grass fold.
