Description

A young man in a black kimono with a dotted obi stands in profile before a bamboo-fenced gate, one hand raised to knock, holding a closed umbrella angled downward in the other. Snow blankets the tiled roof and ground behind the green-and-black fence, rendered in a tall, narrow hashira-e format with a muted palette of black, tan, and green against the cream background. Isoda Koryūsai, 1769, color woodblock print.
