This print shows a woman in a red kimono holding a scroll. She looks at it closely, as if lost in thought. A hanging scroll behind her shows an older woman in a snowy scene. This comes from a series of seven prints based on plays about a poet from the 800s. The artist made the colors bright and the lines sharp, so every detail stands out. See this print in person at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
