This print shows a woman in bright pink robes. Her sleeves are wide and patterned with green and yellow shapes. She holds a fan in one hand and a small round object in the other. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and her face has bold black lines for eyes. The fan she’s holding looks like it has a fish design on it. The clothes and fan suggest she might be someone special, like a performer. Next, check out the actor subject in Japanese woodblock prints.
