You see a tall, narrow scroll with bright colors: a woman in a long blue robe stands under a flowering tree, holding a fan. This print was made in 1922, when China was printing colorful pictures like this for everyday homes, not just palaces. The artist used a woodblock—carved like a stamp—to layer colors one by one, so each copy looks fresh. To see more prints like this, look up the subject china.
