風流七小町 しみず|Shimizu Temple is a 1765 ink by Suzuki Harunobu, a Romanticism work, depicting Tree, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two women in flowing robes standing outdoors. One holds a basket of flowers, the other reaches up as if touching a bare tree branch. The background has a small building and a mountain, with Japanese text in the top corner. The women’s robes use soft, muted colors with some dark outlines. The tree’s bare branches contrast with the women’s busy patterns. This style is called *benizuri-e*, where red and blue dyes make the colors pop.
