1916.643: Ebira (Quiver) from the series Fashionable Nō Plays (Fūryū ryaku Nō)
PrintsThe man on the left stands with legs apart, his arm is out of the kimono holding a sword against the floor. His other arm is raised inside the kimono sleeve as he faces the seated person on the right. He wears a thin flowing headband with long straight black hair that follows the curve of the shoulder. The person seated on the floor holds a small fan and has a cloth tied around their forehead that flows to the shoulders, robes flowing over the figure. A window on the right side reveals a pine treetop.
