- Description / Abstract:
- Old man, likely a sennin (Taoist immortal), sitting on top of a group of rocks. He portrays a calming and acknowledging expression. A black frog is sitting on his right leg which seems to be laid sideways and his other knee is propped up. Both of his hands are placed on top of the left knee. This man seems to be wearing a black robe with feathers around his waist, which makes it seem like a feather belt. He also carries feathers on his shoulders and his white beard is in the shape of a feather as well. Overall, he displays an unkempt and unclean appearance.
