About this work

A girl in a red kimono walks under a blue-and-white parasol. Her wooden geta sandals peek out from her long sleeves. The print uses soft pinks and blues against cream paper. This style copies Japanese woodblock prints, but it was made in Mexico early 1900s. You can see cross-hatching in the parasol’s shadow—thin lines that make the fold look real. It hangs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
