This painting shows a woman in a bright kimono standing by a river. Her back is turned. Cherry blossoms float in the water. A bird perches on a branch above her. Sekka made loose sketches first. Then he turned them into bold prints. The colors pop against the white background like paper cutouts. Check out the Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of Sekka’s work.
