This print shows two people sitting on a tatami mat. The man wears a hat and a robe with flower patterns, holding a fan. The woman sits beside him, dressed in a long sleeve outfit with a fan too. Behind them, a screen and a small table with a woven basket and a box are visible. The artist used bold lines and simple shapes to create a calm scene. Notice how the patterns on their clothes match the flowers on the mat. Look up Hishikawa Moronobu 菱川師宣 to see more of his work.
