Noh costume: Atsuita with battle-axes and clouds design

Atsuita is an outer robe reserved primarily for male roles.
The ground colors of red and white blocks are created using the ikat dyeing technique. On the red blocks, battle-axes and clouds are applied while on the white blocks, uneven lattice patterns in brown and green are applied. The battle-ax is a suitable motif for the Atsuita costume representing a powerful man.
