Ippitsusai Bunchō

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man wearing a green hat, white headband, and a kimono with a white base, orange lining, and purple and green circular designs stands on a mound. He holds a fan in his left hand and a sword at his side. A tree with white blossoms and a few green leaves is behind him on the right. Petals fall around him. The background fades from tan at the top to green at the bottom. The man faces left, his eyes closed.
