True View of Benten at Inokashira from the series Gekkō’s Miscellaney

Ōgata Gekkō

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese woman wearing a blue kimono walks along a path toward a stone staircase. She has a red obi around her waist and wears a white head covering with designs on it. She is barefoot and holds a woven basket in one hand and grasses in the other. A small pond is before the staircase, and a wooden structure stands to the right. Trees and vegetation surround the area. The background features a large tree on a hillside and a blue sky. The artwork’s outer edges have a beige border with writing on it.
