This print shows a woman in a flowing red-and-white robe, kneeling on a woven mat. She holds a folded fan and a scroll, with a tall bamboo fan leaning behind her. Her dark hair is styled neatly under a small hat, and cherry blossoms decorate her sleeves and the background. The artist signed this work in the corner, and the text suggests it’s part of a series about famous poets. The soft colors and delicate brushwork make the scene feel calm and elegant. Look up Chôbunsai Eishi to see more prints like this one.
