This page shows a seated bearded man wearing a court hat, rendered in ink on paper, a format that Japanese artists used for quick studies, sketchbook pages, and figure drawings. The *eboshi*, the tall lacquered cap worn by court nobles and officials, signals rank and formal dress, and artists often drew it with a few confident strokes that give the figure its posture and status. Ink brush drawings like this one were valued for their economy of line, so the spacing of the brushwork and the handling of the beard and robes are worth looking at closely.
