The traditional attire of a miko would be a pair of red hakama (which are long, divided trousers) or a long red slightly pleated skirt tied with a bow, a white haori (which is a kimono jacket), and some white or red hair ribbons. In Shintoism, the color white symbolizes purity.[citation needed]
Traditional Miko tools include azusayumi 梓弓 or the "catalpa bow;" the tamagushi 玉串 or "offertory sakaki-tree branches;" and the gehōbako 外法箱 or the "supernatural box that contains dolls, animal and human skulls ... [and] Shinto prayer beads."
