About this work

This print shows three people and a horse in a busy scene. The woman on the horse wears a bright red skirt and a dark hat, holding flowers. A man in black stands nearby, looking down. The horse has a dark face and a striped saddle blanket. The background has Japanese text and a small map. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to tell a story. The style looks like it mixes everyday life with a bit of fantasy. Check out Utagawa Yoshikazu for more prints like this.
