Colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a woman in a blue kimono with white and blue floral designs, kneeling on a red deck or porch. The woman wears a white under-kimon with a red and gold obi; her black hair is adorned with gold combs. The background features a body of water with distant hills and trees; a bridge connects the shore to a small island. A large tree with a twisted trunk and branches is visible on the left. On the left side of the image, a group of women sit under a blue and white awning. The awning covers a yellow wall with a window; a red gate or fence stands on the right. The color palette includes shades of blue, red, yellow, orange, and green. The sky transitions from blue at the top to pinkish orange near the horizon. The print is titled and signed, with Japanese characters in the bottom-left corner. The artist's name, Utagawa Kunisada, is associated with this work.
