This print shows a woman sitting on a tatami mat, dressed in a blue and black kimono with red accents. She holds a fan and looks out a window with a lattice screen, where a garden with trees and a fence is visible. Nearby are two blue-and-white bowls on the floor. The woman’s pose and the garden outside suggest a quiet moment in a traditional Japanese home. The bright colors and detailed patterns in her clothing stand out against the simple green floor. Next, check out Utagawa Kunisada to see more of his work.
