Kikukawa Eizan

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two women in traditional Japanese clothing stand on a balcony. The woman on the left has her hair styled in a bun with gold hairpins and wears a green kimono with a purple and yellow patterned undergarment. She leans her left arm on a yellow railing and covers her mouth with her right hand. The woman on the right wears a yellow kimono with a black and white floral patterned undergarment and a gray and blue shawl. Her hair is also styled in a bun with gold hairpins. A peach-colored fan with black Japanese characters hangs above them. The background features a gray wall with white polka dots and a yellow railing. A landscape scene is visible through the railing. The floor is made of light-colored wood.
