Modern Versions of the twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety: Guo Zhu
A color woodblock print depicting two women and a baby inside a traditional Japanese-style room. The woman on the left sits cross-legged on a green tatami floor, wearing a kimono with a salmon-colored obi; she cradles a baby wrapped in a pink garment in her left arm and holds something in her right hand near a low table with a large black pot on a fire. The woman on the right kneels on the floor in a brown kimono and white pants; she wears a patterned obi around her waist and holds a bowl in both hands. To the right of the kneeling woman, a bird with a long neck and black plumage perches on a low pink stand. The room has a shoji screen on the right and a low wooden table with a green cushion on the left; a tree branch is visible through an open section at the top left. A color gradient scale is on the right edge.
