Righteousness (Gi), from the series "Five Designs for the Katsushika Poetry Circle (Katsushika goban)"

A single woman with an elaborate coiffure secured by numerous long pins and combs bends forward in three-quarter view, her voluminous outer robe pooling around her in loose folds. The robe combines a floral-patterned black ground, a checked panel, and a red-and-white patterned lining, worn over an orange under-kimono, all rendered in muted black, white, orange, and tan tones against a plain cream background. Columns of Japanese text and a red seal fill the upper right, consistent with this 1810 surimono by Kubo Shunman, "Righteousness (Gi)" from the "Five Designs for the Katsushika Poetry Circle."
