What is the suit used by Ichimatsu Kohina?

Question

Does this type of suit have a name? Is it real or only made in-universe? It's from the anime 繰れ! コックリさん /Repeat! Kokkurisan, ep 10.

If I remember correctly this is also shown in Princess Mononoke - Ashitaka wears it in a few scenes — fez, Mar 17 '20 at 20:29

It is some kind of Mino (蓑), a traditional Japanese garment, a raincoat made out of straw.

And I was thinking this is for the sake of the character only. – riccs_0x Mar 17 '20 at 20:48

@Oni;Thats one of the points that make me wonder if these are reall or no, this seems too kawaii to be real. – riccs_0x Mar 17 '20 at 21:25

Googling found a page with images of real straw boots of that nature tokaido.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/… (It appears to be a WP site that linked to an eBay storefront where one could buy the items, but the store links appear to all be dead. With the store defunct anyway, hopefully posting URL of a commerce-related page is ok. If not: Mods feel free to delete this comment.) See also tripadvisor.com/… – Jacob C. Mar 18 '20 at 4:53
