Shinobi Shozoku

(Ninja's traditional outfit)

The Shinobi Shozoku is made up of split-toed tabi ( a kind of shoes, showen above), special trousers that ties onto the body, a jacket with overlapping lapels tucked into the trousers, protective arm-and-hand sleeves, and a scarf that serves as a mask and hood. The outfit is made of strong, dark-colored cotton fabric, fitted loosely, this gives the ninja freedom of movement, and an ability to blend in with the night shadows.
