Head of the group

Japanese: 幞頭 - ぼくとう
Head of the group

Under the Ritsuryo system, this headgear was prescribed for adult males to wear when attending official events. In the Yoro Clothing Order, it was called a tokin, and it was said to be worn when wearing morning clothes or a uniform. The tokin was worn when wearing agekubi-style Hu clothing, and is thought to have been brought to Japan from Iran via China. The original was a square piece of fabric with a matching obi and a cord attached to the corners, called a shikyakukin, which was tied over the topknot. It was shaped in advance and solidified with black lacquer to turn it into a headgear. In the Jogan ceremony and Engishiki, it is counted as one piece or one strip, indicating that it was originally flat. The relic habit of wearing leggings is seen among Sikh boys in India.

Japanese:

律令(りつりょう)制で、成人男子が公事のとき用いるよう規定された被(かぶ)り物。養老(ようろう)の衣服令(いふくりょう)では頭巾(ときん)とよび、朝服や制服を着用する際被るとしている。幞頭は盤領(あげくび)式の胡服(こふく)を着るときに被る物であり、イランより中国を経て日本に伝えられたものと考えられる。原型は正方形の隅に共裂(ともぎれ)の紐(ひも)をつけた布帛(ふはく)を髻(もとどり)の上から覆って縛る四脚巾(しきゃくきん)といわれるもの。それをまえもって成形し、黒漆で固形化して被る物に変えた。貞観(じょうがん)儀式や延喜式(えんぎしき)で一枚とか一条と数えていて、元来平たいものであったことを示している。四脚巾着用の遺風は、インド・シク教徒の少年にみられる。
