Kosode Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a brown background, adorned with an intricate design. The fabric is oriented vertically and features a design with a peach color background, white flowers on a tree branch, and two fans. The top fan has a floral design in shades of green, orange, and brown, while the bottom fan is beige with brown ribs. The background of the image is a light beige color, providing a neutral contrast to the vibrant design on the fabric. The fabric appears to be a traditional Japanese kosode fragment, with the title "Kosode Fragment" and an unknown artist. The design on the fabric includes a tree branch with white flowers and two fans, one on top of the other. The overall appearance suggests a piece of traditional Japanese textile art.
