Functional garb featuring a crested "nagaki" worn underneath an informal, crested coat known as a "haori," it can be worn loose (by opening up the chest area, for example), in order to conceal the wearer's movements from their enemy.
Traditional pants that are woven from silk, they are cut short so the wearer does not tread on the hem while engaging in battle on foot, where of course footwork plays a key role.
Commonplace straw sandals that are fitted with straps for the toes to slide into, making them easy to adapt to and a favourite of swordsmen.
