SODE
==== Armours made prior to the 1400s were equipped with larger sode of seven 12"-wide lames. This was the common pattern for centuries. A variation which appeared about 1300 was the hiro sode ("broad sleeve") - which was narrower at the top than the bottom. An inverted form appeared a few decades later. Sometimes this was called tsubo sode ("jar sleeve"), a name conflicting with a later type of sode that was narrower and smaller, and actually well curved to fit the upper arm. Sode during the latter part of the sixteenth century resembled rectangular kusazuri, in that they were made en suiet with the kusazuri, in the same style and pattern as the rest of the dangly bits. A late variation on the sode was the bishamon gote, which incorporates a sode into the armour sleeve itself. The lames of this sode were hinged in two places to make the fit more comfortable. Only the bottom lame or two was actually allowed to flop loosely, as the penultimate lame was stitched down to the sleeve.
