However, because the actual way of wearing hosonaga seen in "Genji Monogatari" (the Tale of Genji) might have been based on fact, it is reasonable to think hosonaga was worn by women including adults by layering with many garments including uchiki and sometimes with mo.
しかし、『源氏物語』の実際の着用例は事実をふまえたものであろうから、成人を含めた女性が、袿や時には裳まで含む多くの装束とともに重ねて着用したとみてよい。
