Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black fabric with white floral pattern, featuring intricate designs and lines. The fabric, titled "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" and created by an unknown artist, appears to be folded in a way that creates vertical lines, with a dense repeating pattern of flowers and leaves. The background of the fabric is solid black, providing contrast to the white pattern. The overall appearance suggests a traditional or ceremonial garment, likely made from silk or another luxurious material.
