Description
Two women in kimono stand on a wooden bridge crossing a pond thick with lotus leaves and pink lotus blossoms, seen from behind as they pause mid-span. Dense dark-green foliage rises behind them against a deep blue-green sky, with the artist's round red seal stamped at the lower left. *Shiba Benten ike*, a color woodcut by Kawase Hasui, 1929.
