Poem by Kanke (Sugawara Michizane), from the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki)
Colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene. The scene shows a large ornate carriage with a reddish-brown roof and black wheels with red accents. The carriage has decorative lattice panels on the sides and back. People in traditional Japanese clothing surround the cart; some are wearing blue and red outfits and holding spears; others are dressed in white and crouch or sit on the ground. A woman in a blue kimono with a red and white pattern lies on her back on the ground. Red maple leaves fall from the trees in the background. Trees and bushes are on the left and right behind the people. A beige rectangle with Japanese writing is in the top right corner. The background sky transitions from dark blue at the top to pinkish-beige at the bottom.
