Nara period

Good evening guys. I am writng a novel of fiction that features flashbacks of the main character. One of the flashback entails a story arc centered around...

Court ladies of the Nara Period (710-784) , Japan. Textiles during this period of Japan were often brocade ones heavily influenced by China (and in some cases the cloth itself was directly imported from that country) . Scan from book “The History of Women’s Costume in Japan.” Scanned by Lumikettu of Flickr. Japanese costume many centuries ago…recreation accomplished in Kyoto during the 1930’s

I think this woman is dressed in Nara period robes. She is at a kimono photography experience. If anyone knows when these robes were worn I'd love to know!
