This print shows two women in colorful robes sitting outdoors. One holds a fan, the other leans on a screen. A small yellow box and a few scattered objects lie on the ground between them. Cherry blossoms bloom on a branch above, and a pagoda-shaped lantern sits nearby. The women’s robes use bold patterns and bright colors, but their faces stay simple and calm. The scene looks like a quiet moment in nature, maybe during a break. Next, look up Katsushika Hokusai to see more of his work.
