In this painting a man in a stylish yukata can be seen holding up a striped pot containing a fringed pink (the Japanese nadeshiko flower). This is a scene of a plant stand outside of a temple during an evening festival as can be seen by the flickering candle lights being held by the people in the background. Also of interest in this painting are the circular crane emblems surrounding the text near the top right corner. These are the family crest of the Otowa family, known as a family of famed Kabuki actors. This shows that the gentleman pictured is Hikosaburo Bandou, a fifth generation actor.
