Kukuribakama Trousers (Bugaku costume), Interlocking floral roundels design on blue ground

Using light blue silk thread for the warp and yellow as the weft, the brocade design of this piece is woven over twill ground. On the lining of the back of the waist is an inscription which suggests that this garment was a costume for the Komagaku-style bugaku. A ryoto vest made from brocade with the same design appears in volume 4 of Ancient Instruments and Costumes for Performances, which presumably formed a set with this work although the actual vest does not remain.
