Description

A tall, narrow print of a young woman shown from the waist up, her face turned toward the viewer with dark eyes, red lips, and pale skin rendered in flat tones. Her black hair is piled in a traditional coiffure decorated with pink floral hairpins, a green ornament, and red combs, and she wears a blue kimono patterned with mottled texture over a white collar, one hand raised with fingers extended; columns of Japanese calligraphy run down the blue background at top and along her sleeve. The palette is dominated by indigo blues, grey, black, cream, and small accents of red and green, with a red artist's seal near her sleeve; the sheet is pencil-signed and numbered in the lower margin ("Jun'ichiro Sekino").
