Shitagasane:
This is a long inner robe with trailing hems, to be worn under hanpi (sleeveless body wear).

Hanpi:

Some programs of bugaku dance and music may adopt sets of costumes different from the above ordinary one.

Ryoto-shozoku (a costume of bugaku players following a formal dress of military officers):
There are two kinds of such costumes, one bordered with gold brocades and another with furs. This costume is used when players perform huge movements such as a running dance. Thus, bugaku players wear kantoi (simple type of clothing consisting of a large piece of cloth with a hole in the middle for the head) that is called ryoto, with cuffs of the sleeves tied at the wrists.

Bane-shozoku (a costume including a ho outerwear that has embroideries of bane pictures, a kind of pictures of animals, on it):
This costume corresponds to the clothing of kachie (a mobile costume with bane, pictures of animals, printed on its outerwear's chests) designed for junior class military officers called zuijin (literally, "people from Chinese dynasty of Sui"). A crown of kenei-kan (a crown with a rolled-up rear decorative band called ei) is worn in combination.
