"description": "This triptych (a composition of three prints) shows actors portraying three of the four famed protectors of imperial regent Minamoto Yorimitsu (948?\u20131021). Collectively, they are known as his Shitenn\u014d (\u56db\u5929\u738b), or \u201cFour Heavenly Kings,\u201d after the Buddhist deities who guard the four cardinal directions. The characters are indicated by the large house crests on their robes. The actor Onoe Matsusuke I\u2019s identity is revealed by a fan with the ideograph matsu (\u677e), or \u201cpine,\u201d tucked into his robe, just against his breastplate.",
