Iconographic Drawing of Saturn
Not on view
Counted among the Nine Luminaries, Saturn (Doyō in Japanese) is described as an old man dressed in a flowing robe with the head of a bull atop his own. This drawing once formed part of a handscroll that included representations of other celestial bodies but was later extracted and preserved as a hanging scroll.
