Description

Three figures walk beneath large open umbrellas, seen from behind against a plain pale ground with no landscape detail. The central figure wears a bright orange-red kimono, flanked by companions in dark green and black robes, their umbrellas rendered as broad black and mottled gray-brown discs overhead. The palette is limited to earth tones and the single vivid orange accent, giving the composition a quiet, overcast mood. Woodblock print by Kobayashi Kiyochika; year unknown.
