what's with the weird floating flowy ribbony thing that you tend to see around "holy" characters in eastern media?

@Felthry I don't know exactly but I think it's called a "hagoromo" ? (at least that's what they called it in "The World God Only Knows")

my dictionary gives: 羽衣 (はごろも) hagoromo
angel's raiment, robe of feathers; wings of birds or insects, plumage of birds; type of bug

referencing kaminomi.fandom.com/wiki/Hagor

under "Trivia": 'Hagoromo' (羽衣) literally means 'feather mantle' and is a reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, in which Princess Kaguya is given a hagoromo to wear upon her return to the moon.
