I know there is a Discord but I'm old fashioned.
Samurai Gloy.
Until the bridge at Yedo. And after that.
Samurai with Both Items
Mounted Elite: A samurai on horseback with a horo often wore a sashimono as well to further clarify their allegiance.
Visibility and Identification: The combination of a brightly colored, billowing horo and a fluttering sashimono ensured the warrior was recognized as a significant figure or messenger.
Battlefield Role: These warriors were often found in the vanguard or acting as personal messengers for a Daimyo (e.g., the 50 tsukai-ban of Oda Nobunaga).
While some illustrations suggest that horo-wearing warriors might only use the horo, historical accounts indicate that the two items could be used together, particularly in the later, more flamboyant phases of the Sengoku period.
