The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, light-colored robe with wide sleeves and a lapel collar. The robe is open down the front, with a white interior visible. There are three thin stripes along the lapel on both sides. The robe appears to be made of a wrinkled fabric, possibly silk. The sleeves are wide and flat, lying against the wall on either side of the robe. The robe hangs from a dark-colored hanger. The background is a plain wall. The robe is titled "Woman's Court Robe (Itsutsu-kinu)" and is by an unidentified artist.
