Morning Glory (from the series The Tale of Genji in Elegant Modern Dress)
The image depicts a traditional Japanese scene with five women. The woman on the right stands in a doorway wearing a long purple robe with a design and a yellow obi; she faces left. Three women sit on a low platform to the left: one on the left wears a striped robe; one in the middle wears a black robe with white flowers; and one on the right wears a light-colored robe and kneels. A low cabinet with writing on the side stands behind the seated women. The background features a sliding door with a patterned curtain and shoji windows. The color palette includes shades of brown, black, white, purple, and yellow.
