About this work

This print shows two people in a simple room. The woman on the left wears a red kimono and holds a black hat. She’s standing near a small table with a teapot and cups. The man on the right sits on a tatami mat, dressed in dark clothes, with a sword resting beside him. The room has wooden shelves, a tree outside, and a red pillar. The colors are flat and bright, with clean lines. This style was common in Japanese woodblock prints. Look up Suzuki Harunobu to see more of his work.
