Mosquito Net

A woman with dark hair swept into a bun stands against a plain grey background, gazing downward as she reaches up with both hands to hook a mosquito net, one finger hooked through a small ring at the top of the composition. She wears a white kimono patterned with blue hydrangea-like blossoms and green leaves, sashed with a pale turquoise obi/cord, and her sleeve falls open to reveal a bright teal underlayer. The palette is restrained — indigo blues, white, and a single turquoise accent — giving the print a quiet, domestic mood. Woodblock print, "Mosquito Net," by Ito Shinsui; year unknown.
