This print shows a woman in bright red and blue riding a brown horse, holding a fan. A servant in green and yellow stands beside her, holding the horse’s reins. In the background, a building with windows and a fence line the street, and a woman in black and yellow walks nearby. The text at the top hints this scene is set in Yokohama, a port city where foreigners lived. The woman’s fancy clothes and the servant’s posture suggest a mix of cultures—something new at the time. Next, look up Utagawa Yoshikazu to see how he captured these moments in other prints.
