Description

A woman in an elaborate black kimono patterned with cherry blossom branches is shown from the shoulders up, turned to glance over her bare shoulder while holding an open orange-brown folding fan. She wears a lavender hood-like head covering trimmed in red over dark hair adorned with pink and white flower hairpins, and pink petals drift across the solid turquoise background. This 1980 woodblock print titled "Flower - 花" by Torii Kotondo renders the figure in flat, bold colors with dark outlines.
