Noh Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a Noh Robe by an unknown artist. The robe is displayed on a rod, hanging from the top of the image. The robe shape resembles a 'T' with a wide sleeve-like piece on top. The robe fabric has a repeating pattern of black and light-colored designs on a light background. The designs are mostly circular with floral patterns and stylized leaf shapes. The robe fabric appears to be textured. The background is a solid dark gray color.
