This print shows a woman in a bright red kimono with black and gold patterns, holding a fan. She’s standing near a branch with pink flowers and a green leaf. Behind her is a white fan with a blue and green design, and a yellow moon floats above. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to make the scene feel lively. The writing around the edges looks like a poem or notes about the picture. Next, check out Utagawa Toyokuni I to see more of his work.
