Description
A woman in a loose white robe bends over the steaming edge of a hot-spring bath, reaching down with one hand to touch the water beside a wooden bucket, her dark hair swept up and pinned with combs. Rising steam and her rippling reflection fill the pale blue-green water below, set against a spare interior of tan walls, a stepped structure, and pale wood and tile in muted greens, oranges, and grays. *Woman at the Hot Springs*, a woodblock print by Hashiguchi Goyō, 1920, ink and color on paper, unmatted.
