About this work

Four women walk together, dressed in bright kimonos. Two carry round fans with designs, one holds a bundle on her back, and another has a small child by her side. Their hats are simple, and the scene feels calm and everyday. The background is plain, keeping focus on the figures and their clothes. Notice how the artist used soft colors and clean lines to show movement. The print looks almost like a sketch but with careful details in the fabrics. Want to see more prints like this?
