Figure descriptions
Illustrated poem page. The boundaries among illustrated components are blurred. The
hand-drawn poem text is placed on two
horizontal banners. Both banners have curled edges. The first illustrated scene appears
above the first banner. In this scene, a
light-haired girl kneels on the ground and plays with stones, sticks, and broken bricks.
She sets the objects around her body in a
square. There is a bush to her left and tree trunks in the background. The second
illustrated scene appears below the second banner.
In this scene, a dark-haired girl stands in a patch of hyacinths, holding a basket
on her head. She holds a hyacinth in her other
hand and looks directly at the viewer. There is a field behind her and trees in the
background. A shaded wisp joins the two scrolls
and connects the illustrated scenes. All aforementioned illustrated components are
contained within a single-ruled border. Full
