Archival Note Card | Noh Drama | #34

An elder in green holds a fan beside a deep blue tub and a colorful wall.

This is a noh drama archival note card. It is paper. Japanese woodblock prints are made by carving a separate block for each color and printing them in turn on paper, a process that rewards careful registration. A figure in a soft green robe holds a round fan, standing beside a wide blue tub with golden pattern. A checkered panel of pink, green and cream squares hangs behind. A small figure peeks from the right. It is 5 inches long and 6.75 high.

Bath time, presented with unusual seriousness.
