Aiaigasa (Sharing an Umbrella)

Hashiguchi Goyo's *Aiaigasa (Sharing an Umbrella)*, a woodblock print of unknown date, takes the form of a dense all-over repeat pattern on a dark indigo ground rather than a figural scene. Yellow-green leaves outlined in black and small peach, four-petaled flowers with yellow centers fill the surface, interspersed with circular medallions that each enclose a stylized umbrella shape above two confronting bird silhouettes in pale yellow-green and navy. The design is entirely decorative, with no landscape or human figures depicted.
