This print shows two women in a garden. One sits on the ground in bright green and red clothes, holding a fan. The other stands behind her in a deep red robe, also holding a fan. Trees and a small hill appear in the background, with Japanese writing along the sides. The women’s clothes look fancy, with bold colors and patterns. The scene feels calm, like a quiet moment in nature. Next, look up Hishikawa Sōri to see more of his work.
