Sekinoto

A man crouches in a dynamic, alert pose in the foreground, dressed in an olive-green patterned robe over a red-orange under-layer with a dark sash, one hand raised near his head. Behind him, rendered in translucent blue-lavender tones against a dark ground, is the ghostly, semi-transparent figure of a woman with long dark hair, appearing as a spectral apparition; pink blossoms are visible in the upper left corner. The palette is dominated by dark, muted greens and blues with the man's red garment as the main accent; a title cartouche with red seal marks sits in the upper right.
