I could have watched this for an hour, how wonderful! And I applaud the use of the arrows, there is no confusion and learning is much easier..please continue with these terrific videos! Thank you…from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA…
This was a very informative video: many thanks! Are/were there hakama that were more skirt-like instead of being giant trousers? I may have seen them in martial arts or Buddhist temples. I know sumo wrestlers and others wear kamishimo while participating in the bean-throwing festival at the new year; sometimes bright pink ones!
Thank you for watching! It is a bit confusing, because some hakama are designed to look like a skirt, such as the hibakama worn by miko at Shinto shrines, but they are actually trousers. The same happens with the hakama used in some martial arts, such as kyūdō. That said, there might be examples in the past, the history of clothing in Japan is extremely complex and varied!
Hi there! I always wondered what the black, fishnet like long-sleeved garment is called (here worn under the yoten) and what material it is made of. At 7:46 min. Perhaps you know the answer. Thank you very much in advance and greetings to you!
Such amazing information about these amazing costumes.
They are really amazing❤
Thank you! I love learning about the costumes. They are such an important part of the whole art of Kabuki.
Merci de toutes ces informations si intéressantes. Les costumes sont merveilleux.
Fabulous!

Japan is rich in heritage!
Very interesting. I figured they were exaggerated at least a little, but learning that some of the pieces worn are _purely_ fantasy was surprising.
