[Orchestral Costume]
The costume worn by Kangen players is called miruiro hitatare, a hitatare and hakama made of what is commonly called iridescent seigo fabric woven with brown and green silk threads, with three chrysanthemum stitching on the back of the hitatare. 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.

Each is divided into Sahou (Togaku type) and Uhou (Komagaku type), with the Sahou costumes mainly in red colors and the Uhou costumes in blue and green colors.
