Kimono

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Kimono by an unidentified artist. The garment is laid flat on a white surface. The Kimono has a cream-colored base with visible creases. It features a V-shaped neckline and long sleeves. The garment's hem falls just above the knee. The fabric displays a pattern of black lines, resembling tree branches. The pattern includes variously shaped gray and brown patches. Some patches contain Asian-style calligraphy in black ink. The background is a plain white surface. A gray concrete floor is visible on the left side.
