About this work

This print shows a woman in a flowing robe, holding a long stick with a small plant and yellow flowers. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears a simple headpiece. The background is plain, keeping the focus on her and the plant. The artist used flat colors and bold outlines, which was common in Japanese prints of this time. The way the robe drapes looks almost like it’s made of fabric folds. Look up Suzuki Harunobu next to see more prints like this.
