On the Road, A Lady of the Genkō Era (1313-34), from the series Thirty-six Elegant Selections

Mizuno Toshikata

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print featuring a woman in traditional clothing. The woman wears a white robe with green floral patterns and pink accents, paired with purple pants tucked into brown boots and a wide-brimmed black hat with a long, thin red cord. Her face is obscured by a white veil. A straw hat-wearing figure is present on the right side. The background includes a tree, hills, and a body of water. The print has a beige border with Japanese text and red seals. The scene appears to be set outdoors, with a natural landscape. The woman's attire and the style of the print suggest it is from the Genkō era.
