About this work

This print shows a person dressed in a long, flowing robe with swirling patterns in red and gold. They’re wearing a tall, pointed hat and holding a fan in one hand. Behind them, a screen displays a branch with white flowers. The artist used ink and color on paper, a style called *nishiki-e*. This was a way to make detailed, colorful prints in Japan. Look up technique: cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
