About the piece
Created by Tsukioka Settei in 1779, this exquisite Japanese painting illustrates a famous episode from the life of the poet Ono no Komachi. Shown in the flowing, voluminous robes of the Heian period court, she washes a poem from a sheet of paper to prove its authenticity, a scene rendered with delicate lines and a serene, minimalist composition.
