The Koma clan (고마씨, 高麗氏) is a korean immigrant royal family descended from Goguryeo Prince Go Yakgwang who became known as "Koma no Jakkō", He was a son of the 28th and last Emperor of Goguryeo, Bojang.
The Koma clan was founded in the early 8th century by Goguryeo refugees who came to Japan after the fall of the Goguryeo dynasty.
The descendants of the Koma clan still preserve and are proud of their heritage, traditions and origins.

Their attire literally reminds of the Goguryeo painting, especially the striped skirts. This is super interesting.
Do you happen to know how 高麗 has come to be pronounced /*koma*/? I notice this pattern from [komagaku (高麗楽)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komagaku) as well.
Goryeo and Shilla had the best hanboks.
Their hanbok are beautiful.
Very cool stuff, thank you for sharing this.
This is very interesting. I’ve heard of another Japanese clan called the Ōchi clan that is supposedly descended from Baekje.
They preserved the dress for 1200-1300 years? That is so amazing and unusual.
Very interesting
