Book of Painted Kosode Patterns

Book of Painted Kosode Patterns by Kamisaka Sekishu. The image shows a piece of fabric with a blue and white background. The blue background is on the left side and made up of tiny white dots arranged in a grid pattern. The right side is white with small white floral patterns. A large red design with a grid pattern similar to the blue side runs down the center. The pattern features curved lines that extend to the edges of the fabric. The fabric appears to have a wavy edge on the right and a rounded edge on top. The fabric shape resembles a T with a curved top. The fabric design is on a beige background.
