Description
A woman in a purple and red patterned robe kneels on a veranda beside a rustic wooden lattice fence, facing a standing man in a green kimono under a blossoming vine. A rectangular text cartouche with vertical Japanese script sits in the upper left against a mottled blue-grey sky. The palette is muted — soft greens, lavender, and dull red — evoking a quiet, formal encounter between the two figures. Chapter 4 – Yugao, woodblock print by Ogata Gekko.
