Description
Two women stand on a wooden veranda overlooking a mountain river gorge, one in a striped blue-and-black kimono playing a shamisen, the other in a green patterned kimono and red under-robe standing at the railing; a third figure in blue is visible through a screened doorway behind them. The fan-shaped composition contrasts the dark interior scene with a panoramic landscape of pine-covered cliffs, a blue river cutting through rocky terrain, and layered mountains fading into a red-and-white sky. Utagawa Hiroshige, "Miyanoshita," 1847, woodblock print.
