Poem by Fujiwara no Yoshitaka, from the series One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by an Old Nurse
A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene from a poem by Fujiwara no Yoshitaka. The print shows a multi-level building with a sloping roof extending over a body of water. The building's exterior has a brown wall on the right and a blue tiled roof on the left. Four women wearing kimonos are standing on the middle floor balcony overlooking two men bathing in a pool below. A tree protrudes from the bottom of the sloping roof near the bathers. The background features a blue body of water with two birds flying on the left and a pinkish-red sky. Five long curved lines extend from the roof toward the water. A paper with Japanese text hangs on the right side of the print. The color palette includes shades of blue, brown, pink, and white. The artwork's composition includes straight and curved lines, geometric shapes, and organic forms from the tree.
