This print shows a woman in bright red robes and a fancy hat, standing near a tree with bare branches. She holds a fan and has a small white dog curled at her feet. Behind her, a sign with Japanese characters hangs on a building, and flowers bloom on the ground. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to make the scene pop. The woman’s outfit looks formal, and the dog adds a cozy touch. Next, look up Utagawa Kunisada to see more of his work.
