Description

A woman wears a light summer kimono with a bold geometric pattern, its thin fabric draping loosely in the summer heat. The contrast between the bold pattern of the fabric and the delicate beauty of the woman''s face and hands creates a dynamic composition. The print captures the languid atmosphere of a hot Japanese summer day.
