Festival Lanterns, First Series (Shinji andon shohen) 神事行燈 初編
Two-page spread from a book with tan-colored pages. The left page shows a man in armor with a large sword on his back and a short sword in his hand. He wears a helmet with a plume, and his armor includes blue accents and a dark-colored chest plate. The man appears to be stepping to the right. The right page shows a man in a white robe with red and green patterned shorts and blue accents. He holds a bow and arrow and appears to be stepping backward. Both men are on a wooden floor with railings featuring finials at the ends. The railing spans the background horizontally and appears to have four posts. The scene suggests a dynamic action sequence.
