About the painting

Taken from the same picture scroll as “Frogs in Writing Contest, ” this section shows a high ranking “courtier” making his way through a stream on the back of a toad. He wears the ebōshi cap and karingu robes of the imperial court and is flanked by white-robed attendants. Unclothed frogs and tadpoles swarm along the periphery, like spectators at a parade.
