You could say...<p>I...don't know. I really don't.<br>You could say that the hat and the headpiece are separate/different things and thus tagging both. On the other hand, a Yuyuko with hat is almost guaranteed to also have the same triangle (unless she wears someone else's hat or no hat), so it's not really necessary to tag the headband except for rare cases like S1eth's example (<a class="dtext-link dtext-id-link dtext-post-id-link" href="/posts/7923">post #7923</a>).</p><p>Also, can someone with the capability rename this tag?

When I checked the name of those cloths, I found a variety of ways to refer to them: <em>tenkan, tengan, hitai-eboshi, kami-kakushi, houkan and kami-kaburi</em>. But the only one I didn't find was <em>hitai-kakushi</em>. I think the editors of <a rel="external nofollow noreferrer" class="dtext-link dtext-external-link dtext-named-external-link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitaikakushi">the English Wikipedia</a> probably mixed up hitai-eboshi and kami-kakushi.</p><p>These names are regional and religious. For example, only Buddhists use the word <em>houkan</em>. Accordingly, it's not a bad idea to use the common name 三角頭巾 (<em>sankaku-zukin</em>), or its literal translation "triangular hood / cloth."<br>"Sankaku" means "triangular" in Japanese, and "zukin" means "hood," but in this case I don't think it would be incorrect to translate the word as "cloth."</p>henmere/users/68250tag:danbooru.me,2005:ForumPost/625142011-05-19T22:56:58-04:002011-05-19T22:56:58-04:00@7HS: I'm not sure that "hitaikakushi" is the correct...<p>I'm not sure that "hitaikakushi" is the correct term anyway. Googling for it in kanji brings up only a handful of dictionaries suggesting it as a synonym of some kind of formal Heian-period headwear called, in what is surely a coincidence, a "mokou" (帽額.) Nor does searching it alongside Yuyuko's name produce any relevant results.</p><p>Wikipedia suggests the proper term is 天冠 or 三角頭巾. Regardless, probably makes sense to go with English here.</p>7HS/users/9548tag:danbooru.me,2005:ForumPost/625112011-05-19T22:02:26-04:002011-05-19T22:02:26-04:00@KeliraTelian: Don't put non spoilers in spoiler tags. kthx<p>Don't put non spoilers in spoiler tags. kthx</p>KeliraTelian/users/9521tag:danbooru.me,2005:ForumPost/625092011-05-19T20:57:40-04:002011-05-29T11:49:21-04:00@Ph.D: I stumbled upon this hitaikakushi tag a while...<p>I stumbled upon this <a class="dtext-link dtext-wiki-link dtext-tag-empty" href="/wiki_pages/hitaikakushi" title="This wiki page does not have a tag">hitaikakushi</a> tag a while ago and found out that it's terribly underused, considering how many saigyouji_yuyuko posts there are. After I decided to mass-tag Yuyuko posts with this for several pages, I then thought of how many people are actually going to search for this tag; evidently from the number of posts with hitaikakushi, not nearly enough. This looks to be a rather uncommon japanese word on Danbooru.</p><p>Not sure if Yuyuko's thing applies, since it has a Dreamcast spiral on it, not completely blank.</p><p>That triangular thing certainly is something to be tagged, but with another name more descriptive for non-Japanese speakers, which is nearly all of Danbooru.
