Noh robe (karaori) with roses and fence
Not on view
Sumptuous karaori (“Chinese-style weaving”) robes are created for female roles in Noh plays and are typically worn as an outer garment. The loosely floated colored wefts create an embroidered look. This robe for a role of a young woman has a very unusual iconography featuring roses. The gold bamboo fence in the background creates a lavish texture. Karaori robes made of expensive woven silk are the most representative type of Noh costume.
