Kosode Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a kosode fragment. The fragment features a black section on the right and a light-colored section on the left. The black section has white embroidery that includes flowers and curving lines. Two flower designs with curved petals are visible, one mostly outside the bottom-left corner and one near the bottom-center. The flowers have curved lines inside. The white section has a few darker smudge-like spots. The edges of the fragment appear rough. The image title is "Kosode Fragment" by an unknown artist.
