This print shows two women in bright, patterned kimonos standing on a wooden balcony. One holds a fan, the other leans on the railing. Behind them, a calm river stretches to distant hills and a small bridge. The colors pop—reds, blues, and golds—while the background stays soft and blurred. The women’s hair is styled with flowers and pins, and the balcony has simple wooden slats. The artist used bold lines to separate the scene from the border. Look up Toyohara Kunichika next to see more of his striking prints.
