Scene from the Tales of Ise: “Mount Utsu”

A fan-shaped painting on a beige background. A green and gold patterned border surrounds the painting. Two men are depicted in traditional Japanese clothing. One man on the left wears a white top and blue bottoms with a tall black hat. He is gesturing with his right hand. The man on the right wears a blue robe and a straw hat. He carries a staff in his right hand. They are standing on a hill with sparse trees, bushes, and a winding path. The background of the fan painting features a hazy mountainous landscape.
