Series; Outer Chiyoda Palace (Chiyoda no on-omote)
An Archery Tournament - Several archers have gathered for a target tournament. Two men are standing, one with long bow drawn preparing to fire. A bull's eye hangs from a wooden frame at right, and blue and white striped tent walls enclose the area. Fine cloth embossing in the seated courtiers' white pants and burnishing in the black court caps. An excellent composition and nice illustration of the archery tradition among samurai.
