Poem by Motoyoshi Shinnō, from the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki)
Colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a landscape. In the foreground, a large brown ox with a conical bundle of straw on its back stands on a cracked stone path. A man wearing a blue headband and robe crouches beside the ox. Behind, two people walk on grass; one holds a parasol and a round fan, the other holds a parasol. In the background, a body of water separates the shore from a distant tree-covered hill and a city skyline. The sky transitions from pink at the horizon to beige at the top. A green vertical banner with Japanese characters and a beige rectangle with Japanese characters are on the top right. The image includes various Japanese characters throughout.
