Clothing and Crown - Ikan

Japanese: 衣冠 - いかん
Clothing and Crown - Ikan

A type of attire worn by male nobles. It was not worn by the emperor, but was used as a semi-formal attire since the Heian period, as a casual version of sokutai. While sokutai is called daytime attire, ikkan is also called night duty attire. In the Kamakura period, it also came to be worn when attending court service. It consists of a crown, a robe, an akome (sometimes omitted), a hitoe (single layered robe), sashi-nuki (short sleeved robe), and a pair of sandals instead of an ue-no-hakama (front hakama). It is a rank robe like the sokutai and nunohakama robes, but swords are not usually worn, and ketteki robes are not used. In addition, since the stone belt is not used, a silk belt is used to tie the waist instead, and the hem of the garment and the appearance of the garment are different from that of the sokutai. In addition, since the ikekan is a variation of the morning dress, a crown is always worn.

Japanese:

公家(くげ)男子の服装の一種。天皇は用いないが、平安時代以来の準正装で、束帯の略装として用いられた。束帯が昼(ひ)の装束といわれるのに対して、衣冠は宿直(とのい)装束ともいわれる。鎌倉時代になると、宮中出仕のときにも用いられるようになった。その構成は束帯より半臂(はんぴ)、下襲(したがさね)、石帯(せきたい)を省き、表袴(うえのはかま)のかわりに指貫(さしぬき)をはく形式で、冠(かんむり)、袍(ほう)、袙(あこめ)(略すこともある)、単(ひとえ)、指貫、沓(くつ)である。束帯や布袴の袍と同様に位袍であるが、通常は帯剣することがなく、闕腋(けってき)の袍は用いられない。また着装に石帯を用いないため、それにかわる絹の帯で腰を締めることにより、その衣文(えもん)や着装姿は束帯と異なる。なお、衣冠は朝服の変化形式の装束であるため、かならず冠をかぶる。
