She wears a pale cream kimono inscribed with large gold hiragana characters and bound by a wide red obi patterned with a gold swirling motif and trimmed in a striped indigo, orange, and green band, set against a mottled gold-and-olive ground with a small red seal in the upper right. This woodblock print (mokuhanga) by Sentaro Iwata is titled *Irohanihoheto*; date unknown.
