Description
A woman in a blue kimono patterned with small red and white flowers, tied with a red obi, kneels beside a stream, reaching one hand toward the water. Pink-blossomed branches arch across the upper portion of the composition against a plain cream background, with green grasses along the bank. The palette is dominated by indigo blue, soft pink, and vermillion red, and the print carries a title cartouche and artist seal in the upper right corner.
