What is Kebiki Odoshi of Samurai Armor?

Kebiki Odoshi is a type of Odoshi. It refers to the chest armor (Do), Kusazuri (skirt of the armor), and sleeves (Sode) that are tightly connected with threads or cords without any gaps. To prevent it from unraveling, it is densely packed. There are two types: ""Tatetori Odoshi"", which is laced vertically, and ""Nawame Odoshi"", which is laced diagonally.
