It was the first issued leg protection for enlisted soldiers. It consists of a long narrow piece of cloth wound tightly and spirally round the leg, and serving to provide both support and protection. Puttees (腳絆 Kyahan): Bandage covering the lower part of the leg from the ankle to the knee. They were worn with the lower part either wrapped by puttees or tucked into gaiters or boots. Trousers (袴 Hakama): Dark blue pants closed by buttons with 2 frontal pockets and a red stripe about an inch wide down the outseam on the sides. Rank Insignia (階級章 Kaikyūshō): We can see that the Military rank Insignia were placed on the sleeves in form of sleeve stripes (袖線 sode-sen). Shoulder board (肩章 Kenshō): They’re red and on them is written the unit number (隊号tai-gō), which was the number of the regiment (連隊番号Rentai bangō) or of the battalion (大隊番号 daitai bangō) at which the soldier belonged. Standing Collar (立襟 Tachieri): Red collar which is fastened Military Coat (軍衣 Gun'i): It’s a short single-breasted coat (上衣 Uwagi) dark blue in colour, short and made either of cotton or wool with 5 brass front buttons (釦 Botan), a standing collar (立襟 Tachieri) and red shoulder boards (肩章 Kenshō). Star Badge (Cap Badge) (星章（帽章）Seishō (bōshō)): A brass five-point star badge placed on the front of the headband of the military cap. On the frontal part of the yellow band there’s a star badge (星章 Seishō). Military Cap (軍帽 Gunbō): Dark blue ‘pillbox’ style M1886 cap with a black leather peak and a chin strap, a yellow band for line infantry soldiers (imperial guard infantry had it red) and a crown seam piping.
In this post I’ll focus on the most frequently seen uniform, the one for enlisted soldiers.
As if this wasn’t enough there were different uniforms for officers and for enlisted soldiers, with the result we see quite a bit of different uniforms. Golden Kamuy though, takes place in a particular time period in which soldier uniforms were shifting in shape and colour moving from the dark blue uniform to a kaki one. UNIFORMS DATA HUNTING: Japanese enlisted soldiers’ uniforms in the Russo-Japanese WarĪs the cast of Golden Kamuy count plenty of soldiers (or veterans) one of the most common type of clothes visible in the story are soldier uniforms.
