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

A standing figure in a white robe with pale blue underlayer and a red-and-white patterned headpiece is sheltered beneath a thatched-roof stand with woven bamboo side panels, holding a fan and a folded white paper or cloth; a seated figure in a dark blue-green robe with a dark patterned headscarf kneels to the right, viewed in profile. The scene sits on a cream-colored ground with light grey cloud-band motifs above and behind the figures, flanked by columns of Japanese text and a small inset landscape vignette (rocky shore, pine branch, orange sky) in the upper right. Muted palette of indigo, slate blue, ochre, and grey predominates; this is Makigaki, from the series "Pictures of Nō Performances (Nōgaku Zue)" by Tsukioka Kōgyo, 1893, color woodblock print.
