Varicolored dragons and phoenixes cavort among a plethora of flowers on this silk brocade stole made for a Buddhist monk. Known as ōhi in Japanese, such stoles are placed on the right shoulders of monks when wearing a particular variety of outer robe (kesa) formed from seven individual pieces of fabric.
