Edo Period Kamishima Official Samurai Dress Waist
About the Item
A Timeless Piece of Japanese History and Culture
This formal attire is a perfect example of the rich history and culture of Japan. It was worn by samurai in the Edo period when they attended the castle or in other important occasions. The attire consists of a sleeveless robe called kataginu, which is worn over a kosode, and a hakama. In some cases, the hakama would be long enough to drag on the ground, and this is called naga-gamishimo.
This attire is still widely used in Kabuki theater, where it is worn to represent samurai. In fact, even the roles of samurai from before the Muromachi period, who did not wear kamishimo in real life, are often depicted wearing it on stage.
The cloth used for kamishimo in real life was usually plain or had only small patterns called komon. However, for costumes, more showy colors and patterns are often used to represent the character's personality, social status, and age.
