The costumes worn by the actors in Noh plays are an integral part of the performance and are designed to reflect the character being portrayed. The basic elements of a Noh costume include a kimono, a hakama (wide-legged pants), and a long-sleeved outer robe called a koromo. The colors and patterns of the costume vary depending on the character being portrayed. For example, a warrior character might wear a bold, bright color such as red or gold, while a ghost character might wear a more subdued color like gray or white. The costumes are often made from high-quality silk or other fine fabrics and are decorated with intricate embroidery and other embellishments. The masks worn by the actors are also an important part of the costume and are designed to convey the emotions and personality of the character. Overall, the Noh costume is an important part of the traditional Japanese culture and is still used in performances today. Its beauty and elegance continue to captivate audiences around the world.
