Minneapolis Institute of Arts - the full triptych
The title of this triptych, as described in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts web site is based on a small scene being played out in the middle ground of the left and center panels. The title may be more of a Western invention that one that the Japanese might have used. We are basing this on the fact that there is no title cartouche to be found on any of the three panels.
A publisher's seal for Iwatoya Kisaburō appears on the center panel of this triptych.
