Description
A group of figures in a garden toss coins into the air beneath a large hanging bell suspended from the top of the composition, with children and adults reaching upward amid scattered round coin shapes; one central figure wears a red robe, another a green kimono with a fan-patterned obi, while smaller figures crouch and gesture below. Foliage in green and blue fills the background above a grassy foreground rendered in muted greens and browns. Woodblock print, from the series One Hundred Pictures by Kyôsai (Kyôsai hyakuzu), by Kawanabe Kyosai.
