Description
A woman in a rose-pink kimono sits on an upper-story balcony railing, one hand raised to her face, gazing down at a man on the veranda below who wears a wide woven hat pulled low, a green robe with a sword at his waist, and stands with a hand lifted toward his hat. Between them rises a tall pine trunk with tufted blue-green needles, alongside clustered bamboo and a stone lantern, against the tan-toned paper and the muted palette of pink, indigo, and sage green typical of the impression. This chūban ukiyo-e woodblock print (ink and color on paper) is attributed to Katsushika Hokusai, titled *Yura no Suke at the Tea House, Ichiriki / Act 7 (Nana dan me, Okeya)*, from the series *The Treasury of Loyal Retainers (Kanadehon Chūshingura)*.
