About this work

This print shows a person in a bright blue robe and tall black hat, holding a fan with a patterned design. Their outfit has gold buttons and red accents, and they’re standing on a green cloth. The background is plain, so the colors pop. The fan’s design looks like a small window or mirror, which might be a clue about the scene. The writing around them is Japanese, likely adding meaning to the image. If you like this, check out The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see more prints like it.
