Description
A woman in a black kimono patterned with fine dark motifs stands in profile within a circular frame, her hair swept into a high black chignon with a gold ornament and a red hairpin accent, a round gold-and-black patterned object held at her waist. Behind her, faint willow branches hang from the upper left, a small blue mountain peak rises against a pale sky, and a dark indigo band suggesting water runs along the lower portion of the circle; a red seal mark appears near the figure's hem. Woodblock print titled "Mount Tsukuba" by Komura Settai, 1942.
