Crown - Headgear

Japanese: 冠物 - かぶりもの
Crown - Headgear

...Then there are the masks, which have been used since the ancient Greek dramas and traditional Japanese performing arts. There are also wigs and beards (made by wig makers), hats, hats, caps, hoods, headbands, and other headgear, footwear such as shoes, sandals, and slippers, accessories, and even glasses, swords, umbrellas, fans, and other items of clothing, Japanese and Western armor, stuffed animals such as naked obese people, and undergarments. These include undergarments such as kimono jackets, loincloths, loincloths, and petticoats that are shown to the audience, fleshing out parts of the body to make up for physical defects or to create special body shapes such as for impersonating obese people or the elderly, prep equipment such as devices to create a body shape with one arm or leg amputated or devices for hanging in mid-air, and small articles such as hoods, handkerchiefs, gaiters, tabi socks, and aprons. I think this makes the scope of what is meant by costume quite clear.
