Men's haori with Yuya and the temple Kiyomizu, Haori for a man with a decoration on the lining of a rectangular plane in which a No actor reading a letter, with a text with cherry blossom leaves next to it, the whole against a background of a picture of a temple building with flowering trees. In the No play of the same name, the actor plays the role of Yuya, the mistress of Taira no Munemori, whose mother sends her letters asking her to come before she dies. Munemori prevents her from going before the end of the cherry blossom festival, which they attend at the temple Kiyomizu. The text is a poem that Yuya utters to express her feelings and refers to the impermanence of things: 'Hana mae ni cho mau funpun taru yuki. Yanagi ue ni hotaru tobu henpen taru kane. Hana wa ryusui [ni shitagatte kaori no kuru koto toshi]' ('Butterflies dance above the blossoms like swirling snow. Above the willow, fireflies fly like pieces of gold. The scent of the blossoms, carried by the stream, soon arrives') A little later in the play, Yuya writes a poem on a strip of paper to offer it to Munemori laid on a fan, as pictured here, to beg his permission, after which she is finally allowed to leave. Black shiny silk (habutae) with brocade woven decoration. Five family arms (mon) of ivy (tsuta)., maker: anonymous, Japan, c. 1920 - c. 1940, silk, height 130 cm × width 105 cm
