Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a fabric titled 'Priest's Robe (Shichijō)' by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular, appears to be made of silk or a similar material, and features a traditional Japanese pattern. It has a repeating design of dark and light-colored sections. The pattern includes circles and rectangles arranged in a grid-like formation. The fabric seems to be hanging vertically, with two small metal clips visible at the top, one on each side. The background behind the fabric is plain and light-colored.
