Kogasa, from the series "Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)"

Six figures from a Noh drama are arranged against a bare, pale ground: at center a bent, kneeling figure in a grey robe and patterned white under-kimono holds an open vermillion-orange umbrella, while beside them a black-robed figure with a green headcloth and long beaded necklace gestures toward a folded, patterned cloth or garment lying on the ground. Behind these two, three men in muted green, blue-grey, and tan robes stand watching, and a further robed figure in pale yellow stands partly turned away at the far right. Printed in soft, flat colors of grey, indigo, tan, and ochre against cream paper, with the title cartouche "能楽図会" across the top and "Kogasa" (small parasol) inscribed below in English at the bottom; Tsukioka Kōgyo, 1893, color woodblock print.
