Kosode Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long, narrow piece of fabric. The fabric has a floral pattern with alternating light and dark sections. The light sections are diagonal and slanted to the right. The dark sections have a mottled appearance. The floral designs are white and include stems and leaves. The fabric appears to be a traditional Japanese kosode fragment, likely from the Kosode. The artist of the kosode is not visually identifiable in the image. The background behind the fabric is plain white.
