Japanese Buddhist Monk Priest 7 Column Silk Brocade Kesa Ceremonial Temple Robe
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderful, beautifully ornamented and somewhat rare fully intact Japanese Buddhist monk/ priest's Kesa ceremonial silk robe featuring various colorful birds in flight.

The robes were used in daily ceremonies, temple gatherings, and private meditation. Antique Kesa robes...
