Isoda Koryūsai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a vertical, sepia-toned woodblock print depicting two women. The woman on the left has dark hair and wears a kimono with a light-colored top layer and a darker under-layer. She appears to be wearing a hairstyle adorned with combs. The woman on the right is smaller in stature and also wears a kimono, with her dark hair styled similarly. The woman on the right's kimono features light and dark orange and gray colors. The background of the print is beige with thin, darker horizontal lines, resembling paper texture. A group of four Japanese characters appears near the top of the print. The entire image is bordered with a thin beige frame on a white background.
