This print shows three people in fancy clothes. On the left, a woman in a red-and-gold robe sits with a green sash and a tall hat. The middle panel has a younger man in a dark uniform holding a book. On the right, a man in a military coat stands with medals and a sword. Bright flowers and red carpets fill the background. The woman’s hat has a red bow, and the man’s uniform has gold buttons. The middle panel’s flowers are big and red, almost like a separate painting. Look up Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu next.
