Garb of the Kannagi

This will just be a quick post, but I came to the realization that all of our sacrifices are donning a particular kind of outfit.

Nene and Aoi...

...Katakuri and the washed ashore kannagi...

...They're all wearing kimono and hakama!

Not only were all of these characters sacrificed (or attempted to be in Nene's case), but they wear the same clothes.

Purportedly, kannagi in real life also donned these sorts of garments. Sometimes translated as "priestess", kannagi would serve their gods (or kami) by soothing them with songs, imparting their godly will onto the people, or even sometimes invoking their spirits and allowing them to possess their bodies--a practice similar to one associated with real-life yorishiro.

Now, regardless of how true any of that is, it remains a common perception of kannagi today. And it kind of has me thinking of somebody else...

...yes, Tsukasa-kun!!

Isn't that interesting? It's not exactly the same, but he also wears a kimono and hakama. Although he wasn't sacrificed while wearing this outfit as a child, and neither was he wearing it at his time of death, he does wear it as a ghost.

I've always been fond of Tsukasa's apparel since learning of its history as being used by male students during the early 20th century, making it a nice parallel to Hanako's own clothes (particularly when he dons his cape) which also has its roots in fashion from that time period. I figured that was the gist of why AidaIro chose this outfit for Tsukasa, but I have to imagine this link between the kannagi and him was intentional.

I wonder if this is supposed to show Tsukasa's connection to the entity that may still dwell inside of him, the one theorized--but not confirmed to be--the same kami/god that the kannagi from Sumire's village were sacrificed to? If so, I really have to hand it to AidaIro!

Listen, if it’s been established that two men are in the ultimate ‘It’s Complicated’ relationship, and also that one of these men washes his clothes naked in a river at nighttime, what am I supposed to do? Just not include an intensely homoerotic scene where he’s doing this under a full moon and the other guy sees him and is struck by what a beautiful picture he makes like this in a fanfic I’m writing about them? That’s not how fandom works.

#fandom #fanfic #kannagi #tsujigiri nagiri #kei kantarou #listen of course it's these two idiots #frankly I'm shocked I haven't seen fan art of anything like this yet for them #tvdint #kyuuketsuki sugu shinu #the vampire dies in no time #Kantapup
