Description
A woman in a pale blue kimono kneels on a veranda beside a tall reed blind (sudare), facing a seated figure in white and green robes on the opposite side of a wooden lattice screen; a third figure in dark grey robes sits in the foreground with back turned. Green tatami-edged flooring and a pale peach-toned sky with a small crescent moon fill the background, giving the scene a quiet, subdued mood. Woodblock print titled "Sakaki" by Ogata Gekko.
