Piece from a Kosode with Plum Blossoms and Partial Pine Bough

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Section of a rectangular piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The background is off-white with a texture resembling fabric. There are several blossoms, one pink, one red, and several purple ones on a single stem with green leaves. The blossoms have white lines extending from their centers to their edges. A blue-green object is visible above the blossoms, and a dark blue circular object with a white design is in the upper right corner. The fabric fills the image except for a large white border on either side. The artwork depicts plum blossoms and a partial pine bough by an unknown artist.
