Amigasa Village
- Name
- (Amigasa)
- Region
- Kuri, Wano Country (New World)
- First seen
- Ch. 912
- Name meaning
- **Amigasa** 編笠 = a woven conical traveling hat of plaited sedge/straw — 編 *ami* 'to weave / braid / plait' + 笠 *kasa* (rendaku → *-gasa*) 'conical (rain/sun) hat.' The chapter glosses it on-page as 'the village of woven hats' (p. 7). The name foregrounds Wano's woven-hat craft and feeds the seed that Ace's — and ultimately Luffy's — straw-hat lineage traces back to Wano hat-weaving.
Kuri, Wano Country (New World) · first appeared: Ch. 912
Profile
A village in Kuri, Wano, “the village of woven hats.” Once self-sufficient and prosperous, it nearly starved during Wano’s hard years until Ace’s crew shipwrecked nearby ~4 years ago and ultimately saved it. Razed over a year ago by Kaido’s headliner X Drake, who killed the five samurai who guarded the territory; now in ruins, with only Kozuki Sukiyaki and Otama left.
Etymology
Amigasa 編笠 = a woven conical traveling hat of plaited sedge/straw (編 ami “to weave/braid” + 笠 kasa → -gasa “conical hat”); the chapter glosses it on-page as “the village of woven hats” (p. 7). The name foregrounds Wano’s woven-hat craft and ties to Ace Learned Straw-Hat Weaving From The Wano People. (Full sourced etymology in frontmatter.)
