Young Woman Walking in Snow with Umbrella is a 1890 by Suzuki Harunobu, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This woman is walking in the snow. She holds a striped umbrella tilted to one side. Her black kimono has red and blue trim, and her hair is styled high with a comb. White snowflakes dot the gray sky behind her. Her sandals look odd for snow—maybe they’re just for style. The artist used flat colors and clean lines, not deep shadows. Look up Suzuki Harunobu next to see more of his work.
Pillar prints, or hashira-e (柱絵), are long and narrow Japanese woodblock prints originally intended to decorate wooden pillars.
