Beneath the Willow

Tsukioka Sessai

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts two women in traditional Japanese clothing. The woman in the foreground is crouched on the ground, wearing a beige kimono with pink lining and a patterned skirt. She has black hair tied up with a brown headband and holds a string in her hands. The woman in the background sits on the floor beside a low table with a red cloth, wearing a brown kimono with red lining and a patterned skirt. She has black hair styled with a brown headband and holds a fan. The background features a beige wall with a pine tree branch in the upper-left corner and a flowering bush on the left side. A low table with a black box and other items sits beside the seated woman. The floor appears to be made of wood or tatami mats.
