All the priest's robes have shiro-gojo kesa (kesa (Buddhist stole) divided into five parts longitudinally colored white) and clothes with a thin black (there are differences in the pattern of the clothes, depending on the rank of the monks), and monks are not allowed to wear these costumes without having a license to wear them from kancho.
法衣は全階級とも白五条袈裟に薄墨色の衣（僧階が上がると模様が入るなどの違いはある）であるが、袈裟・衣は管長の免許がなければ着用することはできないことになっている。
