Garyōbai Plum in Kameido

Two women in kimono walk through falling snow beneath open umbrellas, one in an olive-green robe with a red under-layer, the other in a blue-patterned kimono with a purple obi; both wear geta sandals. Behind them a wooden fence and bare, snow-laden trees line the path, with a small roofed gate or shrine structure visible in the background under a pale sky. The scene is rendered in muted greens, blues, and browns against snow-whitened ground, with a title cartouche and text panel in the upper right corner. Ogata Gekko, "Garyōbai Plum in Kameido," 1895, nishiki-e woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
