He is dressed in an outer kimono of pale violet with under kimono of white, dark rose, and yellow-green. The color of his tonsure has now decomposed, but originally must have been pale blue. This print is one of the less exaggerated ones in the series of bust-portraits ; even the eyebrows are tame.
