About this work

A woman in a patterned kimono kneels beside a low table covered in small boxes, scrolls, and a lacquer tray. The objects glow under soft light, each one carefully placed. This print was made as a private gift, not for sale. The fine lines and tiny details—like the gold flecks on the boxes—show how much care went into it. Prints like this were often given for New Year or special occasions. To see how other artists arranged everyday objects, look up *ceremonial objects, japan*.
