About this work

This print shows a person in a long, flowing robe with bold black outlines and bright colors. The robe is covered in patterns—flowers, waves, and strange symbols—while the person holds a fan in one hand. Their hair is styled high, and they wear simple sandals. The background is plain, putting all focus on the figure. The artist used thick ink lines and flat colors, a style that makes the design pop. This kind of print was often used for portraits of performers in Japan. Look up actor to see how these prints were used in theater culture.
