Comments - Handsome triptych depicting a shirabyoshi dancer performing for a pair of monks. A group of female musicians accompany her, two of them holding small hand drums and one with a flute. A large temple bell hangs overhead at right, and a screen patterned with a pine tree fills the background. Beautiful detail in the kimono fabrics, which feature cherry blossoms and other plants. The white robes of the monks are delicately embossed. An intriguing scene.
