Totoya Hokkei

The print depicts two people on a bridge, wearing traditional Japanese clothing, specifically kimonos. The person on the left wears a white kimono with red trim and a black hat, while the person on the right wears an orange kimono with a brown floral pattern and no hat visible. The bridge has a railing and appears to be over water, with ripples visible below. A building with a tiled roof and decorative pillars is to the right. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side of the image. The print is by Totoya Hokkei.
