The Third Segawa Kikunojo as a Woman Walking Toward the Right

Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman walking to the right, shown from behind and slightly turned to the left. She wears a traditional Japanese kimono with a floral pattern in shades of orange, white, and green. A wide obi or sash around her waist features a black base with an orange and white design. The kimono's outer layer appears green with a wave and floral pattern. She has her dark hair styled in an updo adorned with hairpins and other ornaments. Her right hand holds the strings of a bow with three arrows protruding from the quiver on her back. The woman stands on a brown floor against a beige wall with a darker lower section. Japanese characters are written vertically near the bottom right corner.
