About this work

This print shows a woman dressed in a long, colorful kimono with bold patterns of flowers and waves. She holds a fan in one hand and stands sideways, her hair styled neatly with a comb. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her outfit and pose. Her outfit looks fancy, with layers of fabric and bright colors—reds, greens, and golds. The patterns are detailed, almost like a story woven into the cloth. If you like this style, check out Katsukawa Shunkō.
