Description
A young woman with dark hair swept up and pinned with a mustard-yellow and pink ornament is shown in profile, her gaze cast downward. She wears a pale blue kimono patterned with morning glory vines and dark blue-and-white circular blossoms, layered over a white collar and tied with an orange, pink, and black patterned obi glimpsed at her side; the background is a flat grey. "August Morning Glories," a mokuhanga woodblock print by Jun'ichiro Sekino, is pencil-numbered 68/175 and signed in the lower margin.
