Description
A woman in profile strides across a green hillside balancing a large bound bundle of firewood on her head, steadied with both raised hands; she wears a dark blue kimono with a red and white patterned obi and white leggings with sandals, her hair wrapped in a white cloth. Behind her, mustard-yellow hills rise beneath a pale blue sky, with a cluster of red-roofed houses at right and a flowering branch with white blossoms overhanging the scene at upper left. "Tomikichiro Tokuriki, 1950. Woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
