Konami of the Kurahashiya in the Front Group of Musicians (Saki-bayashi), from the series Costume Parade of the Shinmachi Quarter in Osaka (Ōsaka Shinmachi nerimono) 1822 Yanagawa Shigenobu 川重信 The courtesan Konami of the Kurahashiya Brothel in Osaka has draped a feather cloak over her shoulders and dons a glittering floral crown. She holds a pair of drumsticks, for she is serving as a percussionist on a float that carries the first group of musicians (saki-bayashi) leading a costume parade in the Shinmachi licensed quarter. Such parades were held each year in the late summer in the early nineteenth century. Her garb recalls the legend of Hagoromo, a folktale also turned into a Noh play, that relates the story of a fisherman who finds the magical feather cloak of a tennin (an angel-like celestial spirit) hanging on the bough of a tree and requests her to dance for him before he returns it..
