Takenouchi no Sukune - Interesting portrait of the elderly statesman Takenouchi no Sukune sitting on a fur rug. He wears formal court robes and a ruffled Chinese collar, a yellow court cap tied under his thinly bearded chin. His war fan rests on a stand at right. According to legend, Takenouchi served five emperors, and lived to be 280 years old. He is now revered as a Shinto kami. Nicely detailed.
