Woman's Kimono

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The woman's kimono is a long, dark-colored garment with a V-shaped collar. It has wide, short sleeves and a straight body that reaches down to the ankles. The kimono is lying flat with the front side facing up, the left side overlapping the right side. There are two small, circular white designs on the upper chest area, one on each side of the collar. At the bottom of the kimono, there is a design featuring multiple layers of rounded shapes with small white flowers and gray details. The background of the image is light grey.
