This print shows a woman in a flowing robe, holding a fan and a long object like a sword. Her hair is styled high, and she wears a tall hat with a feather. The robe has bold patterns of flowers, and her pose is dramatic, almost like she’s in motion. The artist used simple shapes and strong outlines to make the figure stand out. The colors are flat but warm, with earthy tones and bright accents. If you like this style, look up Torii Kiyonobu I for more prints like this.
