Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a piece of fabric titled "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular with a wavy bottom edge and a folded corner at the top right. It features a repeating pattern of small, light-colored flowers and leaves on a darker background. The fabric appears to be made of a thin material, possibly silk or cotton, with visible horizontal and vertical creases. Several dark lines run across and down the fabric, and there are some darker spots and stains scattered throughout. The fabric is set against a plain white background.
