Totoya Hokkei

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A beige background with a dark green mountain on the right side. A red-robed figure lies on their back on the ground in front of the mountain, with their head pointing left. A long branch with no leaves extends from the bottom left to the top center. A shorter branch with small buds extends to the left. A hat hangs on one of the branches; it has a wide brim and appears to be made of straw. A pair of deer antlers are on the right side of the hat.
