The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Piece from a Kosode with Pine, Bamboo, Blossoming Plum, and Partial Pavilion by unknown artist. The image depicts a section of a fabric with a design. The design includes a pine tree on the bottom left, with dark green and brown branches and light green and brown leaves. To the right and top of the pine tree, there is a brown and green structure with a curved roof. On the right side of the structure, there are two plants with white, yellow, orange, and brown flowers. The plant on the right has a green stem. The background of the fabric is beige with darker beige and brown spots. There are blue lines throughout the right side. The overall design appears to be a traditional Japanese-style painting. The fabric appears aged with some discoloration.
