A kannushi
(right) wearing a jōe
Jōe (浄衣) (sometimes translated from Japanese as
"pure cloth") is a garment worn in Japan by people attending
religious ceremonies and activities, including but not limited to Buddhist and
Shinto related occasions.
Not only Shinto and Buddhist
priests can be found wearing Jōe at rituals, but laymen as well, for example
when participating in pilgrimage such as the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The garment is usually white or yellow
and is made of linen or silk depending on its kind and use.
The Shinto priest
who wears the jōe is attired in a peaked cap called tate-eboshi,
an outer tunic called the jōe proper, an outer robe called jōe no
sodegukuri no o, an undergarment called hitoe, ballooning trousers
called sashinuki or nubakama, and a girdle called jōe no
ate-obi. He can carry a ceremonial wand called haraegushi or another called shaku, as in the photo.
