Samurai Halloween Costumes
Samurai Halloween Costumes
Samurai Halloween costumes are loose-fitting, and typically constructed of dark, flowing fabrics. They also include accents in other rich colors, like red, purple, and dark green. Some costumes may have Japanese characters written on the fabric.
Samurai Halloween costumes consist of billowing, over-sized pants, a large coat, and a large, wide sash that ties at the waist. The sash holds the coat closed, and can be used to hold weapons as well. To make this costume look more realistic, wear tabi socks, and thong sandals, like the samurai of ancient Japanese history. Tabi socks resemble your average socks, except for a separation between the first and second toes. They can be ordered from martial arts supply companies, or save money by making your own. Take a pair of socks, cut them between the first and second toe, then sew them up.
A great accessory for the samurai costume is a wig. There are several popular samurai hair styles. Samurais often wore their long hair loose, pulled up high into a pony tail, or half up, and half down. There is also another wig that has a bald crown, with the sides pulled back, braided, then laid across the top of the head, toward the face. Costume shops selling samurai costumes often have these sell these wigs, as well.
Use Halloween makeup on the eyes to create the sharp look of a warrior. Outline the eyes, and fill the eyebrows in to give the impression of an intense, furrowed brow.
Popular samurai weapons include the long sword, short swords, knives, and a bow and arrow. Look for these accessories where ninja Halloween costumes are sold, and at toy stores, too.
