Hi! What is the name of the grey garment worn on top of the kimono? Is it a part of the formal court dress? How long was it in use? I have aquired 4 of these antique garments and would love to know more. The picture is borrowed since this garment is not seen on any of my own woodblock prints. Sorry if the question is not really about woodblock prints but at least it is related. Best regards, Louise
