About this work

This Japanese print shows two women in a room. The woman on the left wears a red kimono with yellow trim and a patterned skirt. She holds a comb in her right hand. The woman on the right sits on the floor, wearing a black kimono with yellow trim and a patterned skirt. She looks up at the other woman. The room has a tiled floor and a low ceiling. The walls are plain, with some Japanese characters written on them. The overall mood is quiet and intimate. The artist's use of bold lines and bright colors creates a sense of energy and movement.
