Woman in Summer Kimono (Natsu yosôi no musume), Taishô period, dated 1920

Full-length standing figure of a young woman with hair arranged in a traditional upswept style, turned slightly toward the viewer with her gaze lowered as she holds out a long, wide obi patterned with large flowers and butterflies against her dark kimono, which is printed with a small floral sprig motif. She stands barefoot on tatami matting before a sliding screen decorated with birds and flowering branches, a paper lantern hanging at upper right and what appears to be a pair of sandals resting on the mat near the screen's base. The image is reproduced in black and white, showing strong tonal contrast between the dark kimono and the pale obi; the work is Hashiguchi Goyō's woodblock print Woman in Summer Kimono (Natsu yosôi no musume), 1912.
