Men's Garb
Kosode The kosode is the first basic piece of Japanese garb that is worn by both men and women.  It is essentially a robe that is worn as the first layer next to the skin.  The word "kosode" means little sleeve, yet the sleeve itself is just shorter and not quite as long as the sleeves for other over garments that are worn.  The opening to the kosode are generally just big enough to fit your hand through, but most of mine have a full opening (just my personal preference).	Hakama Hakama are the pants worn by both men and women in medieval Japan.  The men wore hakama that could be of any color, whereas the women wore hakama that were mainly red.
