DescriptionThe right (?) sheet of an incomplete, unidentified polyptych. One of the other sheets may include a title or a pictorial detail that would explain what the occasion is, and why the courtesans and a male entertainer identified as "Heiji" are all wearing matching costumes--perhaps a celebration for a kabuki actor?
