Sumer kosode

This piece of Kosode was made from a very fibrous material called bast which is made from a plant, in addition to that the Kosode also has a combination of embroidery and colored dye. Just like many other Kosode embroidery was a very special technique and was usual really expensive to have it done and not only that it was also dyed, which the process usually varies from technique as there are multiple ways of dyeing fabric at this time. But because of the type of pattern that's designed on this piece it would most likely to be worn by someone from a higher class as the material and technique used to make this sort of Kosode with this type of design on it would be very expensive.
