This print shows a black fan with white and red trim hanging on a wall. Under it sits a small red table with a round metal tray. A few branches with bare twigs lie on the floor. The fan’s fabric has a checkered pattern and a few small designs that look like leaves or feathers. The artist used sharp lines and bold colors to make the scene stand out. The mix of dark and bright tones creates a striking contrast. Look up Hachifusa Shūri to see more of their detailed woodblock prints.
