This print shows a woman in a long, flowing robe with floral patterns. She’s standing near a bench, holding a fan, and wearing a tall, fancy hairstyle with pins. Branches with sparse leaves frame the top of the scene, and there’s a small bird perched on the bench. The artist used soft lines and subtle shading to give her clothes depth. The print looks like it was made quickly but carefully, with a focus on everyday beauty. Look up Torii Kiyomitsu next to see more of his work.
