Description
Two young women in kimono kneel face to face on bare, cream-colored ground scattered with fallen leaves, their heads bent close together over a small object held between them. One wears an indigo kimono patterned with pale blue dots and an orange underlayer, the other a mustard-yellow kimono with a black-and-white patterned obi; both have black hair pinned up and white tabi socks. A small red seal appears at the lower right; the composition is otherwise spare, with no background setting depicted. Komura Settai, "Parody of Kanzan and Jittoku," 1942, color woodblock print.
