robes (e, koromo 衣)
1. A general term for traditional Japanese (as opposed to Western-style) clothing.
2. A general term for any formal outer garments worn by Buddhist monks in Japan; also called dharma robes (hōe 法衣).
3. A Chinese-style robe that is worn by Buddhist monks in East Asia; also called a long robe (jikitotsu 直裰).
The koromo has long sleeves and a collar and is tied by a sash or belt (obi 帶) around the waist. Zen monks in Japan wear a Japanese-style long cotton kimono (yukata 浴衣) under the koromo, with a collared white undershirt (juban 襦袢) under the kimono. The ceremonial kesa, a vestige of the upper robe that covered one shoulder of Buddhist monks in India, is worn over the koromo. Formally dressed Zen monks thus wear two layers of traditional Japanese clothing (kimono), covered by a Chinese Buddhist long robe (koromo), which is topped by an Indian Buddhist robe (kesa).

Legend from Shizuoka 静岡県
.
In a gloomy room of a lodging there were the imprints of a large and a small priest on the wall, all wet with rain. In the evening there was the sound of kooshido 格子戸 a lattice door, which was supposed to be closed, suddenly opening. The large and small priest were leaving.

Legend from Tokyo, Asakusa 浅草南馬道竹門 Minami-Umamichi Takemon
In the year 1810, on the 20th day of the 7th lunar month, there was suddenly a naked boy about 15 years old falling from the night sky at 竹門 Takemon. The boy was a retainer of a 京都安井門跡 Yasui, a samurai from Kyoto. He had climbed 愛宕山 Mount Atago on the 18th. Since it was very hot he had taken off his cloths. Just then an old priest appeared and said he wanted to show him something special. The boy did not remember any more.
But his 足袋 tabi socks were made in Kyoto.

Legend from Fukushima, 福島県 喜多方市 Kitakata city
.
If a good man dies, there will be futari boozu 二人坊主 two priests coming for his final rituals.
After the rituals, when they receive some oil or soy beans, one of them will start to laugh. That is karasu カラス a crow, that had shape-shifted into a priest.
The second priest will soon disappear in chinju no mori 鎮守の森 the sacred forest.
