Description

A tall, narrow hashira-e print showing a young woman in a pale olive-green kimono patterned with a large octagonal medallion motif, standing in three-quarter view and gathering the front of her robe with both hands. She stands before a lattice-fronted bathhouse façade in orange-red, above which a second woman's face and upraised hand appear through a barred window. The palette is limited to soft greens, muted orange-red, black, and cream; a vertical cartouche with the artist's signature appears at lower right.
