Description

A woman with long black hair stands in profile on a veranda, gazing upward at a length of pale cloth twisting through the air above her like smoke. She wears a pink kimono patterned with yellow and blue flowers and swirling blue lines, with a red under-robe and a red polka-dot sash visible at her side. The scene is set against a pale blue sky and grey clouds, with a wooden railing behind her; this 1889 woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi is titled "Lunacy: Fumihiroge."
