"The Maekake" of Kakkyo-yama Gionfestival

As for "the Maekake" giving glory to the front of Kakkyo-Yama , it is had made newly for Tenmei era five years(1785). A design is a figure of Tang beautiful woman play(唐美人遊楽図） comfort in figured brocade of cloth of white background. It seems that it is a pattern from a Chinese historical fact. A thing called right and left of a special feature and "a chest back(胸背）" of the pyramid roof that expressed Chinese phoenix / celadon porcelain tea bowl with cloud-crane pattern / god of the south / Iwanami above is seamed together. As for the thing of last years of a light country in China, this "chest back（胸背）" reaches it by minute embroidery. If a Maekake is had made newly in Tenmei era 5, I face it, and it is thought this "chest back（胸背）" to have made up for for each 4 pieces in five pieces, right and left above because I have a small special feature.
