Japan’s “shrine maidens”, known as Miko (巫女) in Japanese, serve the Gods in shrines, carrying out daily duties like cleaning, praying and fortune telling. Their white and red outfits are very striking, and give them an air of mystery. You will probably recognise the white “kosode” shirt, and red “hakama” style loose pants, as this outfit is a very popular one in anime, gaming, and cosplay!
There are many finer points to this outfit that you might not realise about at first glance, but will look unnatural to Japanese people if you get them wrong in your work. Let’s study the outfit in detail today, so you can get it right when drawing it!
