Junihitoe, Kouchigi, and Men's Court Attire Dressing Experience (Pairs)

About this event

This is an event where pairs can experience wearing noble court attires that originated during the Heian period when Kokufu (native Japanese) culture flourished, including the nyobo court attire represented by junihitoe (twelve-layered ceremonial kimono) and male court attire. The kouchigi (small cloak attire) is restricted to elementary and junior high school students only, while the junihitoe and male court attire are open to high school students and older. Participation is limited to individuals who live, work, or attend school in Saitama Prefecture. Why not take this opportunity to actually wear gorgeous Heian-period costumes and experience the culture of that era firsthand? The experience requires participation in pairs. Advance application is required, with the application deadline on November 12. For details, please check the museum website.
