vajo Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Posted June 22, 2020 Is o wakige the cut from the armpit to the head? Quote
SteveM Posted June 22, 2020 Report Posted June 22, 2020 I couldn't find any reference which mentions specifically "ōwakige" as opposed to just "wakige". My guess is that the 大 (ō) was added for dramatic effect, to emphasize it was the widest part of the chest. 4 Quote
