The figure in the photo shows the costume of the wife of the Dojoh family when she goes out in the later half of Edo era.

She wears an "awase (=unite)" kimono with "murasakiji-yuzen-shishu-monyoh", literally means "Purple cloth of yuzen zome (=wax-resist dyeing) with embroidered patterns".

The "fu-obi" band is connected with a "koshi-himo (=waist string)" string of "maruguke",

Folding up the "kaitori" dress (or "uchikake" dress) of yellowish green "chijimi" textiles in the "tsubo-ori" style, the figure covers her head with a "kazuki" coat.

The "kazuki" coat of the Edo era differs from an ordinary "kosode", a kimono with short sleeves.

Sice the "kurikoshi", the shifted size of collar, is shifted forward, the "kazuki" coat is easy to wear.

The "ro" silk fabrics is indigo-blue in color; it is dyed in "hanada" color (=blue) with the "matsukawa-zome-monnyoh", literally means "the skin of a pinetree in diamond-shape pattern."

The "mage" chignon is in the "age-sage" style.

[ The "ro" is a kind of silk fabrics which vertical thread and horizontal thread were twined, became thin, and made the nets. There is cool feeling and it is an object for midsummer. ]

The eyebrows are "tsukuri-mayu (=make-up eyebrows)" and It is a semicircle to the upper directiopn.

The costume in the photo is the original one which has been preserved since the Edo era.
