Women by a Palanquin (from the series Chinese and Japanese Poems by Seven Year Old Girls of Recent Times)
A Japanese woodblock print depicts two women. The woman on the left stands with her body facing right; her head turned toward the viewer. She wears a pink kimono with a red checked pattern and a beige head covering. A long, beige stick rests over her shoulder and across her body; she grips the end. A pink fabric covers an object behind her. The woman on the right sits on the ground with her body facing left; her head turned to look toward the viewer. She wears a pink kimono with white spots and a beige kimono with a green, red and white pattern. She holds a closed fan with her left hand. Both women have black hair and wear white face makeup. Their eyes are cast down. Chinese writing is on all sides. The background fades from dark beige at the top to light beige at the bottom.
