a watercolor painting depicts an ornate, orientalstyle interior, possibly a set design for a theatrical production, maybe titled "the shogun", or "son of the shogun", painted for the play osaka in 1929. large, decorative red curtains frame the sides of the view, draped and gathered, with decorative elements. the back wall is a rounded, arched structure with a blue backdrop painted with cherry blossoms and a vibrant peacock perched on a branch. the walls feature windows with gridded panes, and additional structures give the impression of balconies or raised platforms. in the center, there is a painting of figures in a theatrical scene. there are couches and cushions on the floor, and hanging lanterns. the floor is patterned with horizontal lines, giving a sense of perspective leading toward the back of the room. the color palette is rich, with reds, blues, golds, and touches of green.
