HAGOROMO in Ukiyo-e
Hiroshige has focused on the maiden herself suggesting she is changing into a bird and showing us some of the foreshore at TAGO which is still a popular picnic spot partly because of this legend but also for the views across the bay of FujiSan
Chikanobu however seems to have thinking of both the Noh play the original legend and his love of detailed costumes though his Celestial Maiden seems to be wearing Chinese fabrics and the feathers drape over branches as if they were fabric.
I wonder if someone had done a Kabuki version of the Noh play?
Don't forget to scroll back to the partner post to this one showing photos of Noh actor costumes.
