Description
A woman in profile kneels beside a paper-paned window, resting her folded hands and chin on the sill as she gazes out at falling snow over a grey-blue waterscape. She wears a black outer robe over a red-and-blue asanoha-patterned kimono with a striped magenta and blue collar, her dark hair swept into a high pompadour-style updo with a red ornament. This woodblock print, "12 Aspects of Women, YUKI (Snow)" by Torii Kotondo (1980), is rendered in flat washi-toned color with the figure set against a plain interior wall and wooden window frame.
