Lady Gosechi

Two seated court figures in tall black lacquered eboshi caps and formal robes—one teal-green, one dark brown with a pale dot pattern and violet under-layer—flank a long brocade panel of teal roundels on a striped ground that drapes diagonally across the foreground. A round pale moon sits in a grey-blue sky above feathery pampas grass and hanging red strips at the upper left, with a small stand holding an incense or lamp cup to the right. Text panels and a red seal occupy the upper right corner; the scene reads as a quiet, muted-toned interior/garden setting befitting the title "Lady Gosechi" (Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 1887, woodblock print).
