This print shows two women in a room with open sliding doors. One woman wears a light green kimono and holds a fan, while the other stands in a red-and-brown robe, her sandals off. Outside, a bridge stretches over a quiet scene of trees and a river. Notice the delicate brushstrokes and soft colors—this style was common in Japanese woodblock prints. The text above the women is written in Japanese, adding a poetic touch. Look up Suzuki Harushige to see more of his work.
