The manga "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" (チ。-地球の運動について-) has captured attention with its focus on the heliocentric theory. Set in the fictional country "P Kingdom," which is reminiscent of 15th century Poland, it depicts the struggles of individuals risking their lives to prove the then-heretical theory of heliocentrism. Of particular note is the remarkable accuracy with which the clothing of that era is reproduced in the manga's artwork.
How does the fashion in this work differ from historical reality? How does it connect to modern fashion? Together with Masako Hamada, a researcher of American fashion history and former professor at Mukogawa Women's University, let's explore the little-known world of medieval fashion.
