About this work

This print shows a woman in a dark robe with bright red trim, sitting on a green chair. She has a calm face with dark hair pulled back, and a small vase of pink flowers sits beside her. Above her head, a smaller scene shows a person hanging clothes outside. The bright colors—reds, greens, and purples—stand out against the plain background. The text at the top is Japanese, likely describing the time of day. Look up Tsukioka Yoshitoshi next to see more of his striking woodblock prints.
