Ueno-Hakama

Japanese: 表袴 - うえのはかま
Ueno-Hakama

A type of clothing worn by nobles. Hakama worn over the under-hakama (shimo-no-hakama) of the sokutai (formal attire). It is front-fastening, with the waist string tied on the right side. As it is made with a relatively narrow four-width tailoring, it is called a kaeshimachi, and to make it easier to sit, the crotch is made separately in the shape of a belt and attached to the waist string in a loop shape. The part below the knee has a hem that is made of a twill, called a hiza-tsugi. The edges of the waist string and the hem are also called omeri, and the outer fabric is about 1 cm thicker than the lining. The outer fabric is white, and for young Emperors, Crown Princes, Princes, and nobles, it is floating fabric with a pattern of ka and arare, while for mature men, it is solid twill with a pattern of yatsufuji. The ranks of nobility and lower classes wore plain twill. The lining was all red plain silk, with white used only for the senior retainers.
