It is forbidden for a lower-ranking samurai in kachu (family-related communities which existed in the late Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods) to wear clothes embroidered with ayara (twill weave, pattern of diagonal stripes) or nishiki (brocade) because there has been no precedent of this.
家中の下級武士が綾羅や錦の刺繍をした服を着るのは古くからの定めには無いので、禁止とする。
