Description
Hashiguchi Goyō's 1912 woodblock print shows a woman in half-length, leaning against a wooden railing with her right hand raised to her cheek and her gaze cast downward. She wears a pale kimono patterned with dark blue stylized motifs and a touch of red at the collar, her black hair swept into a high, rounded coiffure with a pale yellow hair ornament. Behind her, a golden ground is filled with green branches and clusters of small pink blossoms, with a blue cartouche bearing a seal and inscription in the lower right corner.
