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.

- Antique Japanese Shirushi-Banten Fireman Jacket Edo PeriodLocated in Atlanta, GAA Japanese Shirushi-Banten (Fireman's Coat) circa 19th century of Edo Period. The robe was made from a heavy cotton fiber and decorated with a dramatic dragon in the dark cloud scheme using Tsutsugaki, a free-hand resist dye method. A dragon with claws clenching pearls and red-orange fire motifs was artistically depicted slithering in and out of dark swirling clouds from the front to the back of the robe. The spatial composition was superb as well as the stylized motion. The indigo blue colored neck lapel bears scription indicating the location of where the robe belonged: the Kannon-Ji of Magino District (The Temple of Kannon; In Japan, the goddess of mercy Guanyin was known as Kannon). This temple is located in Higashine City of Yamagata Prefecture in Northern Japan. On the back, there is a large Kanji Character "Space" in the center, matching the first symbol of the location "Magino" in the front. It is likely that instead of a functional fire-fighting gear, the robe was used in festival parade by firemen, perhaps sponsored by the temple for the town event. When fully extended as shown in photo 1 and 2, it measures 50" W x 37" H. A beautiful and well-preserved sample of Japanese textile art.Category
