retrospec | I'm a model, you know what I mean...

It looks almost Heian in sensibility, but I'm no expert. Whatever it may be, it's absolutely stunning. I know Jirou's usually my model, but can I paint this? You, I mean?

The fabric is extremely heavy and the embroidery is very beautiful.

... I'd rather not, sorry.

What if Jirou was with you? I could paint you both!

I don't want any pictures of me out there, for safety reasons.

Besides, you still haven't painted Jirou naked even though he asked you to. Why are you shy about this?

Wow, I've only seen outfits like that in books. It's yours? Really? It's really nice. Wait, Retrospec can give you clothes too? I know it changed my eyes, but it can give you clothes?

It changed my eye color, and it's given me two outfit. The other one is a more simple kimono and hakama set. This one is much more complicated.

This app keeps getting weirder. I guess if I get some unknown clothes I'll know where they came from.

Is it hard to put on? Is it heavy?

I'm quite used to wearing kimono, so i'm fine putting it on. The top layer is thicker and heavier than I expected, though.

It's still easy to move around in.

Jamie Doh Wow! How many layers is that?

Kenta Ooshima Only three, actually. If you don't count the armor pieces.

Jamie Doh Are the cords complicated to figure out, or were they pre-tied?

Kenta Ooshima The decorative knots were already tied. I had to look up how they were supposed to be worn, though.

definitely not
but it's really super gorgeous!
it looks like the kind of thing royalty would wear or something

I think the top layer is more like buddhist robes?
The crest on it is the same as the one on the hakama, and it also appeared on the other outfit I was given.

oh i see
it's super fancy
do you know what the crest thing is?
a buddhist thing too?

Actually, the torii on it probably means it's Shinto but there's overlap between the two in Japan, so it's not very surprising.

I haven't found anything about the crest itself, though. The design doesn't seem to be recorded in anything I've found so far.

Looks monkish.

[...That's the best he's got okay.]

It does. I do have connection with a temple, so that seems coherent at least.

A temple huh? Were you some kind of priest?

[You haven't told him you're a sword yet, Kenta.]

It's really very beautiful. It's very roomy too.

[Says the young man who tends to prefer clothes that are practically glued to him.]

Kimono and hakama tend to be, yes. The kimono and outer robes appear to be silk.

Silk? That's quite the elegant material to be using. Is it ceremonial?

It looks absolutely fabulous! You'll look like a samurai hero or prince or something.
I haven't exactly been given a time period outfit, but I have gotten an item.
The symbol on it kinda looks similar to the ones on your outfit.
Is that mark like a family crest or something as important?

It could be a crest, but I haven't found where the design is from so far, even though I've been researching it.

It also appears on the other outfit I got from Retrospec.

Yeah, I can imagine it must be difficult.
Either this company has a very good creative team making these things or it may be from an historical, obscure rich family.
It really does look beautiful.

What was the other outfit? Can I see it?
I'm pretty interested in this kind of stuff.
For reasons outside of this app jsyk.

Kenta Ooshima 03/01 near Recollé University
This is the second time I have gotten clothing from Retrospec. The first time, it looked relatively similar to my Kendo practice outfit, although with a few extra elements, but this time... [Yes, he did intentionally cut off his own face from the picture.] This is clearly period clothing, and I don't mean a modern replica. It's the original thing. Has anyone gotten anything like it?
