About this work

This print shows a woman in a long, flowing robe holding a round fan. Her hair is styled neatly, and she stands sideways, looking calm. Behind her, a small scene shows a monk sitting by a river with mountains in the distance. The woman’s robe has a subtle pattern, and the background includes Japanese-style text and a tiny landscape. This print is part of a series about rivers. Look up Suzuki Harunobu next to see more of his work.
