Japanese Brocade Noh Costume Kimono Robe Meiji Period
About the Item
A Noh costume made from magnificent silk twill brocade woven with metallic gold threads circa 1930s. The robe is identified as "Atsuita", made for male actors in the Noh play. The luxuriant fabric has a deep blue background with golden interlocking hexagon pattern that resembles tortoise shells, the symbol of longevity. The motifs showcase three auspicious symbols in repetitive patterns: roundels of coiled dragon, phoenix and peony. The kimono robe is lined with a fine blue twill silk with elaborate floral pattern. When fully displayed, it shimmers splendidly under the light. The display stand is NOT included.
The costumes made for Noh play are among the most sumptuous historical garments in Japan. Not meant for daily wear, this robe has been kept in extraordinary condition.
For another similar Noh costume, see Accession Number: 19.88.3 in the collection of Metropolitan Musuem of Art.
