Poem by Ise, from the series One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki)
Colorful woodblock print of a scene from Japanese daily life. A large building with blue roof tiles and tan walls extends from the bottom-right corner towards center. A staircase leads up to a covered veranda that extends over a street. The veranda has one red roof tile and is supported by thin yellow pillars. Five people are on and around the veranda; they wear dark blue clothing. The roofs of adjacent buildings are visible on the left. A tree with pink flowers and green leaves blooms on the bottom-left corner. A river runs through the left side; a green field with scattered trees borders the river. The sky fades from pink at the horizon to orange. A green scroll with Japanese writing hangs on the right roof. A red seal and vertical Japanese writing are on the bottom right. A color gradient scale is below the image.
