The "three mornings" refers to the first morning of the year, the first morning of the first month, and the morning of New Year's day. As is indicated in the inscription by Yosa Buson (1716-83) at the top of the scroll, it was the first haiga ("poetry painting") made on a New Year's day in his declining years. Although it is said that the elderly man depicted in the scroll is a person who appeared to Buson in a dream, we might also assume that it is a portrait of Buson himself.
