Costume

The costume dressing will be carried out by Kuroda Shozoku, or Kuroda costumes who has been producing costumes since the early Edo period (17th century). They are involved in most famous festivals in Kyoto such as the Aoi Matsuri, Jidai Matsuri, and Inari Matsuri.

The colour of the costume determined the rank at the court and black was for the highest nobility. Purple was strictly prohibited, because it was used by the emperor.
