Description
A quiet street scene with two women in kimono — one in red and gold, one in indigo and purple patterned fabric — standing in conversation before a white plastered corner building with dark-framed windows and a trained pine tree growing over its wall. A dark wooden fence lines the right side of the street, with additional figures and low buildings receding into a pink-toned sky in the background. Woodblock print, "Kikuzaka Street," by Toshi Yoshida.
