Description

A woman in profile with elaborate dark hair pinned up and accented with a yellow ornament stands wrapped in an indigo shawl over a red-and-white patterned collar and pink under-layer, her hands folded before her. Behind her rises the dark tiered roof and pale wall of a castle tower atop a sloped stone foundation, with pine trees and a mountain silhouette against a blue sky in the distance. The palette is dominated by indigo, dusky purple, and muted greys, giving the scene a quiet, subdued mood; the print is titled "Moon at Nijo Castle - 二条城の月" by Miki Suizan, a woodblock print of unknown date.
