Comments: This was my dream costume to make. I wanted to make Lady Eboshi accurate both visually and historically. All of the materials used are silks, linen, bamboo, and fibers that would have been available in the Muromachi Era (when the film takes place). The fans on the kosode and the pattern on the kimono were all hand embroidered. The wig had to be heavily styled, with the first few layers of wefts in the front removed to achieve the desired look. Everything was lined and it was my first time making a lot of these pieces. Not pictured is the hat, which I made from bamboo that I sliced and wove. I’m even wearing bamboo tabi! The gun is also historically accurate (yes, those things really did exist)! The length and width of the ishibiya is period accurate. Even the bullet chamber (made out of cardboard) matches the weapon’s specs. This is a costume I am incredibly proud of and couldn’t be happier.
