Plum Gateway

A weeping plum tree with sparse pink blossoms arches over the right side of the composition, its dark, gnarled branches trailing down toward a stone-walled garden path. At center stands a wooden gate with a peaked thatched roof, beneath which two small figures—one in blue, one in white—pause together, while a third figure in a gray kimono with a red obi stands alone near the tree on the right. The palette is muted—soft grays, browns, and greens—with dense foliage and rocky hillside filling the background; a printed title "Plum Gateway" and the artist's signature appear in the lower margin, consistent with this 1935 color woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida.
