Description
A young woman in dark kimono is seen from behind and above, her form reduced to bold, flattened shapes against a grey wood-grain ground. Coral-orange edging outlines her collar, obi, and hem, while a wide sash across her back carries a zigzag pattern in tan and rust; her dark hair is dressed high and bound with an orange tie. Saito Kiyoshi, 1961, color woodblock print, "Maiko, Kyoto."
