The Poet Fujiwara Kiyotada, from the “Narikane Version” of Thirty-six Poetic Immortals
The image depicts a seated man in traditional Japanese clothing, viewed in semi-profile. The man sits cross-legged on the floor with his legs tucked under him. He wears a traditional Japanese robe with wide sleeves and a distinctive hat. The robe appears to be off-white, while the hat is dark. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. To the left of the man, there is a column of Japanese text written vertically. The drawing is surrounded by a decorative border, which consists of a green patterned section with gold floral designs, and a narrower brown patterned section with gold floral designs at the top and bottom.
