Since the SCA studies pre-17th century western Europe, I would not expect to
find any information about Asian, African, or American cultures from SCA
materials.  If you are considering a non-European SCA persona, please
reconsider.  Some groups traveled extensively in Europe during this period,
including Moors, Byzantines, Huns, Mongols, and Russians.  The Chinese,
Japanese, and native Americans did not.

I have not looked for Japanese costume information, but for other costume
research I use art history books, biographies with portraits, sumptuary laws
limiting what could be worn, and other books about the culture.  It takes a
lot of reading to find the details you need to recreate the outfit.  If you
find a theatrical costume book or other summary, check their conclusions
with other sources before you accept their advice.

Hello,

I searched for information on the costumes of medieval Japan on the
Internet and some of the SCA websites to no avail. Are either of you
aware of such resources in SCA?  Any information or advice would be
appreciated and useful.

Sincerely,
Kerry
