Description
A young woman in a blue kimono kneels at the top of a grassy slope, facing away from the viewer, while a figure in a red robe crouches beside her holding a pair of scissors to her long black hair, which cascades down the incline in vivid horizontal bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. A single tree with rounded green foliage arches over the pair, and a small red seal appears at the lower right of the composition. Woodblock print, "The Day She Takes her Vows" by Takehisa Yumeji.
