Etymology[]

While typically localized as a vest, a tasuki is a traditional Japanese accoutrement for martial arts, and especially for samurai. Slung around the back of the wearer, the crossed arrangement of the cloth allowed long and hanging sleeves to be pulled and tied back for greater mobility and clearing them when wielding weapons such as spears and swords, as the sleeves would catch through the moving pommel and handle without it. Wearing a tasuki is also said to provide a stimulating feel by their enclosure around one's shoulder and arm joints, encouraging one to be more free form and fluid in their movements, and to focus and control their strength.
