The headwear is a "momitate eboshi" hat made of seigo gauze covered in black lacquer and edged with white cloth at the bottom, and the footwear is usually a shallow "uhigutsu" (black leather clogs) made of cowhide coated with black lacquer.
[Bugaku Costume]
A general term for costumes used in Bugaku dance and music handed down from foreign countries, such as Togaku and Komagaku.
