About this work

This print shows a woman in a dark, patterned robe. She’s holding something small in her hands and standing near a blue curtain. A yellow sign with Japanese writing hangs behind her. The floor has a wooden look, and her feet are in blue sandals. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to make the scene pop. The sign reads *onna jōri*, which means “women’s quarters” in Japanese. Look up Utagawa Kunisada next to see more prints like this.
