About this work

This woodblock print depicts a woman in a kimono, holding a parasol and a black box. She is dressed in a beige kimono adorned with floral patterns and wears a matching headpiece. The background is a light beige color with subtle water ripples at the bottom. The woman's kimono features a unique design, with a combination of floral patterns and stripes. The parasol she holds adds a touch of elegance to the overall scene. The black box she carries is simple yet striking against the soft colors of the kimono. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Katsukawa Shunkō.
