Description
A young woman with a pale, mask-like face gazes straight out at the viewer, her dark hair swept up and adorned with pink, blue, and white floral hairpieces and a red band. She wears a peach-toned kimono patterned with red spirals, florals, and swirling stripes, with a vertical band of blue and red running down the print beside a column of black calligraphic text; the background is solid black. Below the image, the sheet is pencil-numbered and signed "Jun'ichiro Sekino" alongside a red seal — a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) titled *September Early Frost*.
