Description:
From the series "Zenaku Ko no Tegashiwa" (Difficult to Distinguish between Good and Evil). Fujiwara no Yasumasa (958 - 1036) was a famous musician. Here he plays his flute while walking back home in a moor. A man wanted to rob him his clothing but was enchanted by his music and ended up following him until his home. The man was actually his brother, Hakamadare Yasusuke.
