The heishozoku (military costume) at this time was tsutsusode joi (straight-sleeved jacket) with tatsutsuke bakama (man's formal divided skirt), and a black lacquered conical jujingasa (a conical headpiece for armed soldiers) on the head; this jujingasa, particularly, was such a novelty that officers of the feudal government who came for field surveying criticized it as 'iyo no kaburimono' (an eccentric headgear).
この時の兵装束は筒袖上衣に裁着袴（たっつけばかま）、頭に黒塗円錐形の銃陣笠であり、特に銃陣笠は見分に来ていた幕府役人が「異様之冠物」と批判するような斬新なものであった。
