About this work

This print shows two men in simple robes, sitting outdoors. Both have shaved heads and wear wide, dark sashes over one shoulder. One man kneels with his hand resting on the other’s back, while the other leans forward slightly, holding a fan. Behind them, a bare tree branch with small buds stretches across the top. The men’s robes and shaved heads suggest they might be monks or actors—roles that often shared similar costumes in Japanese art. The fan and the way the robes drape hint at careful attention to daily life details. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
