This print shows two people standing close together. The man wears a black coat with green lining, a wide-brimmed hat, and a bow tie. The woman has a big green skirt, a red top, and a hat with flowers. They’re holding hands, and the man’s other hand points outward. The background has Japanese text and a banner, but the focus is on their exaggerated, stylized clothes. Their faces look serious, almost like a story is being told. Look up Utagawa Yoshitora next to see more of his bold, colorful prints.
