Sohei or battle monks were mighty warriors of Sengoku period in japanese history. Their image is pretty popular in folk culture, so even ninjas used their image as a disguise. Now you can try it on yourself! Actually their outfit is typical for pilgrims - special robe and comfortable short hakama trousers are the best for long walk. Just add some weapons and peaceful buddha servant turns into dangerous fighter.
