1@A Buddhist priest's vestment. Originally the same as *kesa ŒUΎ, noue refers to any robe worn by a priest or found in Buddhist statuary.

2@An outer robe worn by a Buddhist priest, and found on *nyorai ”@—ˆ statues. The noue is draped round the body either covering both shoulders *tsuuken ’ΚŒ¨ or leaving the right shoulder exposed *hentan uken •ΞεΦ‰EŒ¨. The noue was traditionally made from a patchwork of rags and discarded laymens' clothes. See *funzoue •³‘|ˆί. However, in Japan, elaborate formal versions were made. Although Buddhist law forbids the wearing of primary colours (red, yellow, blue, black and white; goseishoku Œά³F / five primary colours), this was permitted when the fabrics were cut and combined in a patchwork. A robe made from five different coloured fabrics is called gonoue ŒάεΣˆί and one made from many different coloured fabrics, hyakunoue •Sεӈί.
