These are great... Thanks

this is very helpfl, eric, thank you, it'll be a good reource of a little 'idea' ive had about japanese maille

specifically that it might be the origin of the 'fishnet clothing' worn by ninja outfits in pop culture, now unless im sorely mistaken, edo era japan did not have a fishnet/ mesh like underclothing, did they?

so i figured the 'fishnet' was artists shorthand for drawing kusari armoour worn under the clothes as a light defense
