Description

In Kishū Tōshōgū Shrine at Wakanoura, Wakayama City, there are about seventy old costumes consisting mainly of those used by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA (1542-1616) and those used by his tenth son Yorinobu TOKUGAWA (1602-1671). These are datable to no later than the beginning of the Edo Period and are very well preserved. Most of the costumes have not been re-tailored. These were discovered by the author in October, 1974 and publicized for the first time, in the 28th General Assembly of the Japan Art History Society, in May, 1975. Kishū Tōshōgū Shrine was founded by Yorinobu in 1621. The old costumes kept in this shrine are classifiable into five groups according to their histories. The second chapter of this part of the paper is an explanation of the various histories of the costumes; the third chapter discusses the details of the first three groups. Group A consists of pieces related to official court costumes (A-1 to 12: Pl. IV, figs. 1 to 7), kosode (A-13 to 15 Pls. V, VI, figs. 8) and kobakama (Pl. IIIb). Group B consists of Noh-play costumes (B-1 to 3: Pls. I to Illa, figs. 9, 10) and a white kosode (B-4: fig. 11). Group C consists of a jimbaori coat of leather (C-1: fig. 12).
