This print shows a woman in a flowing robe, holding a fan and a small bundle. She’s standing in a room with a window that looks out on a garden. Her clothes are decorated with swirling patterns and flowers, and she’s wearing a tall, fancy hat. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, which was common in Japanese woodblock prints. This style often told stories or showed everyday life in a stylized way. If you like this, check out Ishikawa Toyonobu for more prints like this one.
