Summer Kimono

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the Summer Kimono by Isamu Noguchi. The kimono is laid flat on a surface and appears to be made of a lightweight fabric with a pinkish-brown color. The garment has a T-shaped design with short sleeves and a long body that reaches down to the ankles. The sleeves are wide and have a slight curve at the edges. There is a long sash or tie that hangs down from the neck area, and appears to be untied. The background of the image is a light gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the kimono. The image is presented on a gray background with a white border on the right side.
