Tangoku refers to textiles with a historical name. Tangoku also refers to the formal attire for female roles (uwagi) that were created using such textiles. Dark colors such as purple and deep green were used as base colors. Geometric patterns like turtle crests and ginkgo leaves were arranged as motifs, while family crests and round crests were scattered as upper patterns. This design is a characteristic of the early Edo period.
