Description
A woman in a blue kimono patterned with pale roundels stands turned slightly to the side, holding a partly closed orange umbrella in one hand and a long pipe in the other; her outer robe's folded-back sleeve shows a red lining decorated with green and blue medallions. Her hair is arranged in a dark upswept style secured with pale ornamental pins, and a branch of orange-red maple leaves extends across the plain golden-tan background at upper right. *Shower in Late Autumn* (しぐれ), a woodblock print by Uemura Shōen, date unknown.
