回文歌 京 大阪 江戸|Palindromic Poems (Kaibunka): Kyo is a 1768 ink by Suzuki Harunobu, a Romanticism work, depicting actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows three women in long robes and fancy hair. Each one holds a fan or a small object. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and browns. The background has simple trees and a wave-like border at the top. The text at the top is Japanese poetry. The artist signed each section in the corner. The women look calm and dressed for a special event. Look up Suzuki Harunobu next to see more of his work.
