Description : Nakamura Jakuemon IV, who is a living National Treasure, here portrays the spirit of the Wisteria in a dance which was derived from an Otsu-e image of a young woman carrying a wisteria branch. Otsu-e were folk paintings sold as souvenirs of the town of Otsu, and have been considered by some as a fore-runner of Ukiyo-e. (description by the artist, Paul Binnie).
