Triptych of Umbrellas by Okumura Masanobu. Three-panel artwork depicts three women in kimonos. The left and right panels each show one woman, and the center panel shows one woman. Women stand under large umbrellas. Their kimonos are green and white with patterns. The women wear their hair up and have black footwear. The background shows trees, mountains, and a pathway. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right and left of the artwork and on two vertical banners behind the women. The color palette is predominantly green, black, and beige.
