Fireman's jacket

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The outdoor autumnal scene on this coat features maple leaves, curtains and the taiko drum used for performances of court dance (Bugaku). The garment resembles the coats of firemen of the city of Edo, but it lacks insignia of any kind and thus cannot be identified as a fireman's jacket.
