About this work

This print shows two women in flowing robes standing on a balcony. One holds a fan, the other a scroll, both looking out over a tiled roof below. The background is simple—just a sky, trees, and a wooden railing—while their clothes have soft folds and delicate shading. Notice how the artist used ink to create depth without heavy lines. The women’s faces are calm, almost dreamy, and the colors stay muted except for the bright green of the balcony’s wall. If you like this style, look up Yumiaki Toriyama next.
