The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, black and white garment with a floral pattern. The garment, titled "Over-Robe (Uchikake)" by an unspecified artist, is laid flat and viewed from the front. It has a pointed collar at the top and short sleeves that are slightly rounded at the ends. The garment is composed of multiple panels sewn together, with seams visible down the center and sides. The bottom hem is thicker and darker than the rest of the garment. The floral pattern features small, repeating designs in shades of light and dark gray. The background is plain and light-colored.
