Mitsuuji Entertaining Guests on a Verandah

Comments - Handsome scene Mitsuuji, the Country Genji, entertaining guests on a verandah. He sits on a cushion at right, smiling happily as two beauties perform a dance in the center, gracefully waving their fans. Two women playing the koto and shamisen accompany them. At right, a low lacquer table holds blue and white porcelain dishes of rice cakes and delicacies. The verandah overlooks a pond bordered with blooming irises, and ornate tasseled lanterns hang overhead. Beautiful color and detail in the elegant setting and the sumptuous kimono fabrics. A lovely triptych that would make an attractive framed presentation.
