Description
A cryptic title suggesting a kimono sleeve visible in or beside a wash trough at Iwakuni. Hiratsuka's woodblock subjects range from the monumental to the incidental, and this undated work may belong to his interest in the overlooked objects and scenes of daily life. Iwakuni, home to the famous Kintai-kyō bridge, was a place he visited repeatedly.
