The face and posture closely resembles those of the Chinese three-color glazed clay figurines excavated from Tang tombs. It is presumed that the pictures were finished by sticking bird feathers on its every outlined portion, but they are now all but gone, leaving only the bare outlines in ink and tiny fragments of feather on the white foundation.

This picture is depicting the prevailing idea of beauty in ancient orient, and is considered the most valuable examples of Japanese painting under the direct influence of Chinese Tang style.
