平安中・後期における蔵人の装束着用の実態

This paper focuses on the relationship between the activities of the Kurodo class in the Imperial Palace of Japan and their clothing, using the Jichu Gunyo —a guide to the practices of the Kurodo —as the main source, and confirming it with other ritual books and ancient records. It was observed that their clothing depended on the nature and location of their work. The Kurodo wore a Sokutai of Iho while visiting the Imperial Palace. For daytime work, after receiving the Kinjiki Senji, they could wear a Sokutai of Kikujinnoho or Iho. However, when the emperor wore a Kikujin, the Kurodo could not wear it. In the role of a night guard, they wore a Tonoiginu, which is a Noshi for the Kurodo no to and an Ikan for the Goi no Kurodo and Rokui no Kurodo. To go to the Jinoza, they were required to wear a Sokutai. When the Kurodo acted as an Imperial envoy, they wore a Sokutai of Kikujinnoho presented by the emperor to symbolize that they were his representatives. Depending on the time of day and the nature of their work, the Kurodo changed their clothes repeatedly at the Shukusho.
