Obi

A woman in profile, her dark hair swept up, glances down over her shoulder while standing in a white kimono patterned with pale blue cloud-like ovals and asterisk-shaped indigo star motifs on the sleeves and hem; a coral-orange obi belt cinches her waist. Vertical columns of Japanese calligraphy fill a tan panel to the right of the figure, and the background is otherwise a plain warm cream with a small triangular purple-grey shape in the lower left corner. *Obi* by Onchi Koshiro, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print), year unknown.
