Picture Book: Flowers Yet to be Picked (Ehon Suetsumuhana) 絵本末摘花
Two black and white illustrations of women in kimonos on aged paper. The left illustration shows a woman standing on a wooden deck; she has long hair and wears a kimono with a floral pattern. The woman on the right sits on the ground outside; she wears a kimono with a floral pattern and holds a fan; her long hair flows down her back. Both women have their faces rendered without features. The background of the left image shows plants through a window and on the deck. The background of the right image shows grasses and a body of water with indistinct objects in the distance. Japanese characters are written in black ink around both illustrations. The illustrations are bordered by black lines. The aged paper background is beige with darker edges.
