Danbukuro - Danbukuro

The lower garment of the samurai training uniform. When the Tokugawa Shogunate was forced to open its ports to Western countries at the end of the Edo period, it realized that the traditional samurai uniform was non-combatant, and on August 22, leap year, 1862, a reform of the samurai uniform was carried out. At that time, the training uniform was changed to tsutsusode (long sleeves) and momohiki (lower pants), or tsutsusode (long sleeves) and tattsukebakama (sewn hakama). Furthermore, during the Keio period (1865-68), the lower garment was changed to thin hakama, and this Western-style thin hakama was called danbukuro. In other words, the upper garment of Japanese military uniform was called tsutsusode, and the lower garment was called danbukuro, and it was a hakama style with a waist string.

武士調練服の下衣。幕末徳川幕府が欧米諸国より開港を迫られた際に、従来の武士の服装が非戦闘的なのを悟り、1862年（文久2）閏(うるう)8月22日に武家の服制改革が断行された。そのとき、調練服を筒袖(つつそで)に股引(ももひき)、あるいは筒袖に裁着袴(たっつけばかま)とした。さらに慶応(けいおう)年間（1865～68）に下衣を細袴とし、この西洋式細袴を段袋と称した。つまり、日本式軍装の上衣を筒袖といったときに、下衣を段袋といったもので、形態は腰紐(こしひも)のついた袴仕立てのものである。
