Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a long rectangular fabric, titled "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a grid pattern with 3 columns and 5 rows of rectangular sections, each containing intricate swirling designs and floral patterns. The grid sections are outlined by thin lines. There is a border around the edge with more intricate floral patterns. There are 6 white squares, each in a corner of the grid sections, possibly tape. The fabric appears to be hanging from a thin rod at the top-right corner.
