A hood — Okoso-Zukin

A woman in falling snow holds a paper umbrella overhead, its ribs and pale tan canopy arcing across the top of the composition against a dark grey sky flecked with white snowflakes. She wears a deep purple hood (okoso-zukin) framing her face, over a lavender kimono patterned with a small crest and branches of red, white, and orange plum blossoms, with a blue-and-white striped garment or sash visible at her sleeve; her hand, wrapped in red fabric, grips the umbrella's handle. Her face is turned and tilted downward with a calm expression, rendered with pale skin, red lips, and rosy cheeks typical of the print's flat color style; this woodblock print by Ito Shinsui is titled "A hood — Okoso-Zukin."
