Description

A pale-faced figure with long black hair and a white cloth wound over the head leans close behind a stockier, round-faced figure with heavy dark eyebrows and reddened cheeks; the smaller figure wears a blue-and-white checked kimono over a red polka-dot underlayer, while the taller one wears a pale blue-grey inner robe beneath an outer kimono patterned in green, orange, and yellow florals, one white-gloved hand visible at lower right. To the left stand upright bundles of brown rope or straw against a flat silver-grey background, and the upper right corner carries a stylized red angular emblem, with a title cartouche (reading 足柄山) and a red seal in the upper left. The woodblock print, titled Ashigara Yama, is by Torii Kotondo; the year is unrecorded.
