Is red halfway dress bad...?

I'm always indebted to you.
First, I'll report it.
I'm leaving the hospital today.
Do your devotion for us
To everyone involved in the hospital who will give it to us
May the Buddha bless you.

well...
Should I wear a red halfway dress
Isn't there one?
I enjoy Noh as a hobby,
When I usually go out or visit temples and shrines,
The number of people going out wearing hakama has increased.

One day at the family temple, in a dark blue kimono
A black hakama, a gold brooch on a dark blue background
A half-length dress with a lotus pattern
I put it on and went.

To Teraba-sama
“Attire with Ofu-sama in mind
So, actually, the red robe
I wanted to wear it,
Accidentally in the case on the way
The dark blue robe was still in
That's it.”
As I said,
“It's better to stop wearing a red robe
good! The monk's the best
The highest rank you have practiced
Because it's something people can wear!”
I was told.

huh? Then why is the manufacturer
are you showing off a red halfway dress...?
Moreover, for believers...
I have a question.

I bought it at a reasonable price, so I want to wear it
But... is that no good?

As an aside, with a red hakama at the shrine
What doesn't seem like you should go
Somehow I understand it.

I don't think you need to worry too much

I read it.
I see... there are various rules about the color of clothing and costumes depending on the denomination. The scarlet robe is the highest rank in the Jodo sect. However, this is a rule within the monks and within the denomination.
So I don't think they're that strict when it comes to public rhetorical statements... If Teraba-san says so, I don't think you should wear it when you go to that temple or meet that person.
So I don't think you need to worry too much about it.

The original appearance of our clothes is brown, black, and white, and the original appearance of our coat is brown. I don't think it's really about getting caught up in color.

I sincerely prayed that you would continue to be watched over by many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Fudo, and gods, and that you will be able to deepen your faith so that you can live every day peacefully and healthily, and that you will be able to receive the Buddha's salvation and guidance. Shishin Gassho Nanmu Amida Buddha Namu Amidabutsu

It is preferable to wear it according to manners. I think it's usually fine to pray freely.

If you can wear whatever clothes you like in a free place, I think anything is fine.
The purpose to which I belong also has the meaning of colored clothing. You can usually visit freely, but at the head temple and the temple directly under it, you will wear something fixed.

In your case, praying at the family temple is also a proper place, and I think it would be preferable to wear clothing that suits you in front of Mr. Fudo according to that custom.

I wonder if the manufacturer that was purchased was directly requested at Motoyama's favorite hobby shop.

Even in tweets, it was conveyed that they were doing well, but I was relieved to be discharged from the hospital. I also want to say thank you. I think that's why they went to the temple.
I think Teraba-sama also told me about it because it's important.

But she's dressed nicely. It comes to my eyes.

It doesn't matter

There are answers already, and I think that's true.
If you don't have an arrangement with the denomination you belong to, I don't think you'll be particular about it.
However, there are also people who point out such things very loudly by other people, so if you are concerned, it might be a good idea to be examined to some extent and taken into consideration. If the denomination changes, it may be completely different

Maybe that person misunderstood clothes and costumes

The color determined by the rank of the monk is probably not the hat, but the clothing (kimono).
Scarlet (red) is the highest clothing color in the Jodo sect.
The person who was told the story may have misunderstood the clothes and costumes and was speaking.
Basically, I think any color of hat that people in the house wear around their necks (worn over kimono or clothes) is fine.
However, as expected, I think the golden golden orchid robe is for monks.
I don't feel uncomfortable with the red or dark blue halfway dress at home.

I think it's fine to have partial golden orchids instead of overall gold.
Also, if the family temple is OK, there will be no problem.
Monks also usually wear plain clothes in black or brown, but when they wear flashy colored clothes and golden robes, I think it's when monks perform ceremonies on behalf of the Buddha or Bodhisattva.
So, I personally thought it would be nice to be able to wear a gold pika dress like the Buddha's agent at home.

If you bought it on the recommendation of the family temple, I don't think it's necessary to buy it again.
