and oh those poets ...

Another #Yoshitoshi print this time depicting Fujiwara no Kinto a famous Heian poet offering an unseen person a branch of plum blossom on a fan. This is a depiction of male beauty expressed as style and elegance. His black over-robe is a fine silk gauze? The under robe is a dark red and we see a glimpse of purple trousers and his footprints in the snow?
