Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a patterned design. The fabric "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" by unknown artist is predominantly dark-colored with a repeating pattern of various shapes and designs. The pattern includes swirling motifs and geometric shapes in lighter shades. There are eight white square patches scattered across the fabric, some with intricate designs. The fabric appears to be divided into sections by thin lines. The fabric's edges are slightly frayed and uneven. The background behind the fabric is plain white. The fabric appears to be a traditional Japanese garment.
