Description
A woman in a pale blue kimono stands on a veranda writing or holding a document, while a child in a purple kimono kneels beside her looking up. Tall bamboo grows just beyond the railing at right, and a red-covered cushion or bedding is visible in the room to the left. The palette is soft and muted — pale blues, lavender, and warm neutrals — evoking a quiet domestic interior scene. Woodblock print, "Bamboo," by Ogata Gekko.
