Yanagawa Shigenobu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese man dressed in a traditional outfit, wearing a long black robe with an orange lining with a white sash around his waist; the robe's hem is orange and white, with a partial view of white undergarments. He wears a traditional Japanese headpiece and black shoes. A sword with a white hilt and scabbard is strapped to his back. The man holds a white fan in one hand and a round handheld mirror with a black handle in the other. His face is pale and expressionless. The artwork's background is a muted beige color with some darker speckling. There are several Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the image and a circular seal beneath them.
