Osho (Wang Xiang)

Two women in patterned kimono stand on a stone balustrade beneath blossoming cherry branches, one leaning on a cane, as a fish leaps from the water beside a bathing figure below; a small inset panel above shows a bearded man lying prone on ice reaching toward the water. The palette is dominated by soft blues, pinks, and greens with the women's kimono in maroon, red, and green stripes and floral patterns. Toyohara Chikanobu, "Osho (Wang Xiang)," 1890, woodblock print.
