This print shows a woman in a long, flowing robe with bright floral patterns. She’s holding a fan and a scroll, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. Behind her, a bare tree branch stretches upward with clouds floating above. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to show her elegant pose. The scroll she holds might hint at poetry or a story. Next, look up Kitao Shigemasa to see more of his detailed prints.
