Women, as well as boys and girls, may also perform the dance, in which case they may put on maetengan (a charm of the front of cap) with kazashi (snapped branch of flower or tree put in the hair or the cap) in it and wear stage makeup as in Kabuki dance, without wearing Bugaku masks.
女性や少年少女が舞う場合もあり、その場合は、舞楽面を着けずに山吹の挿頭花を挿した前天冠を着け、歌舞伎舞踊と同様の舞台化粧をする場合がある。
