Water iris

A robed figure in an elaborate purple mantle patterned with gold roundels and green leaves stands with one arm raised, sleeve billowing outward; beneath is a vermillion under-robe patterned with small motifs, and the figure wears a tall white feathered or fur headdress with long trailing white cords ending in tassels. The face is rendered in the stylized manner of Noh theater, with a pale, mask-like expression, and the figure stands against a plain beige ground. In the upper right, a separate vignette shows purple and white irises growing beside a wooden plank bridge over water, framed against a pale blue ground. Signed with the artist's seal at lower right.
