Description
A single sheet divided into four small vignettes beneath a red title cartouche. At upper left, two dark birds swoop in flight above a spray of red blossoms against a plain cream ground; at upper right, a seated figure in a red-and-blue patterned robe works with raised hands, matching the title's reference to the sculptor Kasuga carving an image of the arhat Pindola. Below, a waterside scene of moored boats, a flag-hung dockside building, and pine trees rendered in muted indigo and grey sits beside a fourth panel showing a grey-robed seated figure with a standing attendant, the whole sheet keyed to the multiple place-names and subjects listed in the title.
