Ok, so bear with me on this one. The attention to detail is so spot on for this show (and speaks to the accurate portrayal of the period in question) that there's even the presence of some Indic/Mughal-esque brocade in the costumes: the brocade strip on the neck and parts of the front breast of Lord Toranaga's jinboari at 2:08, and also the brocade robe you see at 2:42. This makes sense since the Mughal world (via the Portuguese and eventually the Dutch East India Company) unofficially traded goods with Japan beginning at the end of the 16th century–so much so that Japanese porcelain and lacquerware became costly status items in South Asia. Conversely, textiles such as printed calico/chintz (sarasa fabric), as well wool/silk carpets, were imported to Japan commencing around the 16th-17th centuries (and later). The scholar Yumiko Kamada has written about the presence of Deccani carpets in Japan, which were/are still used to decorate floats in the Kyoto Gion Festival. Anyway, long story short, fantastic accuracy!

If he doesn’t win multiple awards for best costume design, we riot.
The whole cast and even the entire extras have such beautiful costumes that are faithful to historical pieces, the kabuto’s crests, the kimonos and their floral patterns, the traditional colors used by clans as well as the textiles are flawless.
