A suikan (水干) is a type of clothing that used to be worn by low-ranking officials serving the imperial court during the Heian period (794-1185).[1][2] It is generally worn over other clothes.[3] The word "Suikan" literally means "water-drying,"[1][2] referring to the process of stretching the cloth and drying it without using glue. The clothing is a sliding-door type of jacket with a single-breasted body and open sides, and the collar is tied with a kumihimo cord.[4] The term "suikan hakama" is also used to refer to the long hakama worn with the Suikan, although the exact meaning of this term is somewhat debated.[4] It is considered a quite formal form of clothing.[3] It features very large sleeves that attach to the shoulders for a short distance. The garment is made from one very wide fabric panel. The sides are open. This shows the clothes worn underneath.[3]
