| Physical Description: | An actor in a female role stands with body facing left and head turned right in an area enclosed by wide-spaced, blue, bamboo poles. In one hand he grasps a sprig of cherry blossoms to which is attached a poem slip. He wears an outer robe of blue and pale orange chrysanthemums interspersed with bluish green leaves and star shaped objects on a pale peach background. It seems to be lined with orange and is worn over a peach kimono tied with a black brocade patterned obi. The inner robe is a blue and white sayagota pattern. The floor of the area is gray and the bamboo poles are embedded in large yellowish beams. The area outside the enclosure is dark gray. A cherry tree seems to be growing within the enclosure at the extreme right margin. 2687.11a, b, and c probably comprise a triptych with a) the left hand panel, b) the center panel and c) the right panel. One or two other panels may have been included to the left. |
