A woman in a long, flowing robe kneels on the ground. Her outfit is light blue with red flower patterns, and she holds a small red-and-green box. Her hair is styled neatly, and she looks calm but focused. The box she carries is simple but colorful. The background is mostly plain, with just a few lines of Japanese writing above her head. This print is part of a set called *surimono*, a type of Japanese woodblock print. Check out The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see more examples.
