About this work

This print shows three figures in a small, busy scene. Two men in long robes stand on the right, one holding a child. A woman in a bright red hooded cloak dances in front of them, her arms raised. The background is plain, but her cloak swirls with quick, loose brushstrokes. The text on the left is Japanese poetry, often paired with these prints. The artist signed it in red—tiny but clear. The colors are soft but bold, especially the red and gold in her cloak. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
