Summer Willow in the Breeze

Ishikawa Toyonobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman wearing a green kimono with a light orange, white and dark green pattern, and an obi wrapped around her body. The woman's kimono wraps around her body and trails on the floor behind her; she holds the fabric in one hand. She wears her black hair in a traditional Japanese style with a comb; she holds a fan in her other hand. The woman stands on a tatami mat floor in a room. Behind her on the right is a shoji screen; on the left is a low wall and a window looking out at trees. The wall has a cabinet with three drawers above it. The image is printed in black, green and shades of brown. The background paper is beige.
