Woman Running Past a Willow Tree in a Breeze

Suzuki Harunobu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicting a woman, wearing a kimono and holding an umbrella, running. The woman's kimono has a light-brown color with darker brown accents; the traditional Japanese garment has a wide, flowing design, with one leg exposed. The woman is on the bottom center of the image, looking down; her dark hair tied up, and she appears to be running to the left. The umbrella she holds above her head is semi-circular and light brown with lines; she holds the umbrella with her right hand. There are several lines on the left representing plants on a hill; on the top left is a tree, probably a willow, with leaves flowing to the right indicating a breeze; the image background is a simple beige color with darker spots. Japanese characters are on the bottom right; the image has a weathered appearance with darker spots on the beige background.
