Domestic Scene by Yanagawa Shunsui: A traditional Japanese-style woodblock print. The scene depicts three people indoors. The individual on the left sits on the floor with their back against a low wall, wearing an orange robe. The person in the middle kneels on a mat beside a low table, wearing a robe with a fish pattern, and appears to be combing their hair. The person on the right stands near a pillar, wearing a long robe, with one arm raised. The background features a window with a grid pattern on the left. A plant is positioned behind the kneeling figure. The room has a tatami mat floor. The color palette is predominantly muted tones of brown, beige, and orange. Japanese characters are written at the top of the print.
