About this work

A woman rides a horse side-saddle, holding a long stick in her right hand. She wears a blue skirt, red sleeves, and a white cap tied under her chin. The horse is brown with a blue bridle and a long tail. The background is mostly empty, with a red banner on the right side that has Japanese writing. This print mixes bold colors with simple shapes, making the scene look clear and flat. The banner likely gives the title, but the words are in Japanese.
