Isoda Koryūsai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print with two women. One woman on the right wears a brown kimono with red and white stripes and holds a parasol with the same color scheme. The parasol's cover is open, and she wears geta-style high heels. The woman on the left leans on an orange railing and wears a pink kimono with a patterned obi and hairstyle adorned with hairpins. The railing, made of orange wood with thin vertical slats on a yellow background, is in front of a building's exterior wall featuring diamond-patterned wallpaper. A small tree branch with flowers and a roof with a slatted window are visible. The background has a beige tone.
