Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black fabric with white floral pattern. The fabric titled "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" by an unknown artist, appears to be a piece of clothing or textile, possibly a robe. The fabric features a repeating pattern with white flowers and leaves on a black background. The fabric takes up the entire image. There is a vertical seam on the left edge. A white border runs along the edges. Small text in the bottom corners reads "43951/19.93.31" on the left and "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" on the right.
