Chōzan of Chōjiya from the series Triptych of Beauties Before Blinds
The image depicts a woman in a traditional Japanese kimono standing in front of a fence with cherry blossoms and wisteria. The woman has long black hair and wears a kimono with a complex design featuring various patterns, including stripes, florals, and geometric shapes, in shades of pink, red, green, yellow, and black. She stands facing left, with her body turned slightly towards the viewer. A yellow headpiece or hairpin is visible on her head. Behind her is a red fence with green accents. Pink cherry blossoms hang from above, and yellow wisteria flowers are visible on either side. A vertical strip of Japanese text appears on the right side of the image. The background features a light-colored wall or screen with green horizontal lines at the top. The artwork's aged appearance is evident from its yellowed and worn condition.
