Stage costume (stage costume) - Butai Isho

Japanese: 舞台衣裳(舞台衣装) - ぶたいいしょう
Stage costume (stage costume) - Butai Isho
Costumes worn on stage. One type is worn by singers and musicians at concerts, while the other type is worn to help actors and dancers express their roles in the performing arts, such as theater, dance, opera, and musicals. (Note: In the case of Bugaku, Noh, and Kyogen, the word "shozoku" is used.)
[The role of stage costumes]
In what follows, I will focus on costumes in the performing arts, but the starting point for thinking about stage costumes is to remember that stage costumes make up the largest part of an actor's make-up.

Japanese:
舞台で着用される衣服のこと。その一つは歌手や演奏者が音楽会などで着用する場合であり,他の一つは演劇,舞踊,オペラ,ミュージカル等の〈舞台芸術〉で俳優や踊り手がその役柄を表現するのを外観から助けてゆくものである(なお,舞楽,能,狂言の場合は〈装束(しようぞく)〉という語を用いる)。
[舞台衣裳の役割]
 ここでは以下,〈舞台芸術〉の衣裳を中心に述べるが,舞台衣裳について考えるための出発点は,まず,舞台衣裳とは俳優の〈扮装〉に関して(もっとも)大きな部分を占めるものであるという点であろう。
