His is shown here looking back over his shoulder at Lady Maki and Lady Chidori playing a game inside his home. They are partially concealed by a sliding shoji screen, where their long hair floating above them creates shadows that look like snakes, giving an indication of Kato's feelings toward the sensual world. Cherry blossoms bloom overhead, with a shower of petal falling gently to the ground. The inset above show the young son, Ishidomaru, searching for his father at Mt. Koya. Beautiful color and fine embossed detail in the white kimono.
