Yoko (Yang Xiang)

A woman in a dark maroon kimono with a geometric-patterned obi stands holding a long pipe to her mouth, looking down at a small child in a checked robe who sits on the floor tugging at a toy or small animal figure. They are in an interior room with a sliding paper door, a folded indigo patterned textile, and a small potted plant with red flowers on a stand nearby; the wall behind opens to a teal-colored exterior panel. Above this main scene, a separate framed inset panel depicts a snarling striped tiger crouched over a fallen white-clad figure in grass, while another man in blue robes recoils with arms raised in alarm. Japanese text columns run along the right edge of the inset panel; the overall palette combines muted maroon, ochre, teal, and cream tones. Woodblock print, 1890, by Toyohara Chikanobu, titled "Yoko (Yang Xiang)."
