Spread Five from Volume Three of People of Japan in Light Verse (Kyōka)

The image shows two pages from an open book with Japanese text and illustrations. The left page has two men illustrated; one wears a white head covering, a long gray robe over a blue divided skirt, and sandals; the other man wears a blue head covering, a black robe, and holds a fan or similar object; both are drawn in a traditional Japanese style with black outlines and colored fills. The right page has a woman illustrated; she has long dark hair and wears what appears to be a white garment; she is depicted falling or swimming through blue waves; the illustration style matches that on the left page. The pages have a yellowed appearance with black text written in Japanese; the text is arranged in vertical lines; there are black borders around the illustrations. The background of the image is light grey.
