Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "Furuichi Dance at the Hisagataya" by Gakutei Harunobu. Two women wearing traditional Japanese kimonos and headpieces are dancing on a wooden stage. The woman on the left has her arms outstretched to the side and her right leg extended behind her, while the woman on the right mirrors her with her arms and legs in a similar position. Both women have their hair styled in an updo and wear kimonos with a white base and a black and orange pattern. The stage has a railing and is decorated with circular designs along the top and bottom edges. In the background, there are trees and a dark sky. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the two women forming a mirrored pair. The print features a range of colors, including black, white, orange, and blue.
