Noh Robe (Karaori)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Noh Robe, also known as Karaori, is a traditional Japanese garment. The robe is primarily reddish-brown with a floral pattern featuring various shades of red, white, black, green, and beige. It has wide, short sleeves and a straight, open front with no visible fastenings. The robe appears to be made of silk or a similar fabric, displaying a shiny texture. The floral pattern is intricate and dense, covering the entire surface of the robe. The background of the image is plain white, suggesting a product or artifact photograph. The robe is hanging on a form or hanger, with a straight cut at the bottom and visible seams. The overall shape and style are characteristic of traditional Japanese Noh theatre robes. The robe is by an unknown artist.
